Pay us to be mad about the Supreme Court.

For the price of a single bad legal opinion, you can get every public episode ad-free, the entire subscriber-only catalog, and access to the 5-4 community Slack. Independent podcasts run on listener support — that's it. No ad networks, no parent media company, no friendly nudging from corporate.

What you get

  • Ad-free public episodes. Same show, none of the host-reads.
  • Subscriber-only deep cuts. Cases we couldn't fit in the public feed, plus mailbags, hot-take episodes, and the occasional movie/TV review where we cannot stop ourselves from talking about contract law.
  • The community Slack. A few thousand lawyers, law students, and curious civilians arguing about doctrine. Peter, Rhiannon, and Michael actually post in there.
  • A custom RSS feed. Drops straight into Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Spotify — wherever you listen.

What you don't get

An invitation to clerk. Free legal advice. A guarantee that the Court will get better.
