The Legal Academy, Episode 1: Akhil Amar
A new show about law professors.
I have just posted the first episode of a new show I am hosting about law professors. In the show, called The Legal Academy, I'll interview leading law professors about various parts of our jobs -- legal scholarship, law teaching, and the like.
The idea is to create the best conversations that a law professor might have at a conference or the faculty lounge back when it was legal to go to a conference or the faculty lounge. I realize it's a narrow topic for a narrow audience. It's really for law professors, those who want to become law professors, and those with a peculiar interest in law professors. But hey, buddy -- you're the one reading a blog mostly written by law professors. So I figured you might be interested.
Here's Episode 1, my interview of Yale Law Professor Akhil Amar. I hope you enjoy it. I'll also be putting out an audio-only podcast version that should be out in a day or two.

I nominate William "Bill" N. Eskridge Jr. for episode 11 or so, after a decent interval has passed with some non-Yale Law School professors as your guests.
I shared these Apple Podcasts (the first episodes of The Legal Academy) with my students. During the last 2 weeks, we've been discussing "The Constitution Today: Timeless Lessons for the Issues of Our Era" by Akhil Reed Amar. Our online conversations with students became more vivid and animated with this topic.
