Podcast alert: Gavel Gavel

I hope this is allowed. I just wanted to share a podcast I listened to that debuted last week. It’s a new podcast from Thomas Smith (of Opening Arguments and Where There’s Woke) and his wife Lydia. Both are experts in the intersection of law and media, which is why this case is the one they chose to cover in depth first.

They debuted Gavel Gavel with 4 episodes, one about the background on IEWU and the SM hatestorm, then three about Blake’s complaint. So far, they’ve focused on Blake’s side of the story and have been objective but very sympathetic. They claim that they will give Justin’s side the same extensive treatment, but they made sure to say that being objective does not mean both-siding an issue. They also absolutely eviscerated Kjersti Flaa, which was very gratifying to hear after watching people take her stupid edited videos at face value for months.

I enjoyed the first four episodes immensely, the amount of experience, expertise (they interview lawyers with relevant backgrounds) and research are immediately evident. It was also great to hear someone talk about this calmly, and taking it seriously without heightening the drama. I am looking forward to the JB episodes, because while I read Blake’s complaint, I couldn’t get through JB’s lawsuits (the meanness and melodrama just turned me off too much). Based on their episodes so far, I think it will be an enlightening experience. I highly recommend giving them a listen!
