My favorite legal podcast

I am a second year Law student and I’m just astounded by the questions John Quinn asks, they reflect the exact questions that I want to know but wouldn’t even know to ask in the first place. This is an extremely informative podcast and I look forward to every episode that comes out. Not only is this an educational law podcast but it is an education in the art of interviewing in general. Thank you John Quinn!

Quinn is a master!

After listening to several episodes of his podcast, it’s no surprise he has had such extraordinary success as an attorney. His questions are well thought out and if he doesn’t think the answer is clear enough for his listeners, he’s not afraid to step in and ask for further clarification. He also has a great voice and delivery. As a former TV news anchor I would have loved to share an anchor desk with him and watched him in action!
