These Are Death Penalty Cases In Traffic Court
Added 2024-02-08 07:04:36 +0000 UTCIn episode 1002, we get to know Matt Cameron. He talks about his background, his legal practice and areas of expertise. I ask him about the case he is most proud of, and you will not believe what it took for him to win it! Then I ask him about the case he most regrets, and... wow. Let's just say Matt does incredibly difficult and important work.
You do not want to miss this one, these stories are so compelling, and they make me so excited going forward with OA and Matt onboard!

Just found out the incredible news. Resubscribed, repledged, and after listening to a few episodes it's even better than I thought. MATT is the best thing that's ever happened to this show next to Thomas returning!! It will be so, so, so amazing having a public interest lawyer being the main legal voice, as opposed to a more corporate /mainstream liberal lawyer with an overly rosy sense of the law and how it works (or rather, doesn't), especially for those wrongly too often on the sharp end of it. As a lawyer with a (tech x) human /civil rights focus, I have never really related to or identified with lawyers like Andrew, but listening to Matt is an absolute breath of fresh air and I think a perspective that will only become more needed and important as the US continues its current downward trajectory. Combined with classic Thomas-OA format /production /values, this truly seems a win all around. Congratulations and so happy you're back & to be back! Edit after seeing QnA suggestions: I have a solid list of guest recs if you ever decide to do a deep dive on privacy /tech law and surveillance of policed communities (including role of data /AI /algorithms)--happy to volunteer them as tribute :)

2024-03-31 07:53:09 +0000 UTCWelcome back, and I did initially resub for Thomas, but I am also extraordinarily pleased to have an immigration lawyer as the main legal guest! Welcome Matt too!

2024-02-09 23:58:17 +0000 UTCI can't second this enough. Obviously, what's going on with Trump is big news and there's a lot to dig in to legally speaking. What I missed so much were deep dives and breakdowns on legal issues NOT TRUMP though.

2024-02-09 23:30:03 +0000 UTCLove this so much! And Matt is wonderful. However my first listen was with the auto ads. Oh my! I am so happy to be a Patreon and avoid the auto ads! I also love that it’s not all about trump!

2024-02-09 21:07:35 +0000 UTCGreat to have Thomas back, but I resubscribed for Matt. Loved the episode, loved the subject matter.

2024-02-09 16:43:52 +0000 UTCWay too much drama on this podcast. I’m outta here.
Randy Raymond
2024-02-09 16:21:53 +0000 UTCI agree. The joke landed the first time and now it's starting to feel stale and unnecessarily mean...not that Dersh didn't bring it on himself.

2024-02-09 15:32:31 +0000 UTCLol i havent been back since 2001 i guess but it was perfect for our family and i have nothing but happy memories and a very good public school education (hbhs '98!) from my time there. I gather it's changed a lot since my time there but it will always be a special place for me
Matt Cameron
2024-02-09 14:31:58 +0000 UTCThe wheels of justice turn slowly but inexorably. Welcome back Thomas! Delighted to reinstate my sub. One request - please please please keep going with WTW to the extent you are able. I’m really enjoying that content too ❤️

2024-02-09 07:35:12 +0000 UTCLol. The guy who commits sexual misconduct that was enabled by the show wasn't the one who ruined it?

2024-02-09 06:16:10 +0000 UTCMy inquisitive Interviewer is back! Restarting my sub! Edit after listening: Thomas, you were on point with the interviewing. The constant "Wait, here hold up a second I want to make sure I understand you right", and "for the non-lawyers, please explain this in a different way" were perfect. Please consider changing your introduction back to "inquisitive interviewer".

2024-02-09 04:48:21 +0000 UTCSeems that he forgot to change accounts between replies. Rookie mistake.

2024-02-09 03:41:53 +0000 UTCI liked hearing from Matt. His heart really shines through. Looking forward to future shows

2024-02-09 01:10:29 +0000 UTCHearing the real OA theme song nearly brought me to tears today. I also audibly cheered. I've listened since 2016, subbed since 2017, and pulled my financial support after PAT took over. I feel a little skeezy knowing some of my patron $$ goes that way, but overall feel like showing support for this direction of the show with my wallet is super important. I am so so happy to have Thomas back and really excited to hear Matt's perspective.

2024-02-09 00:34:08 +0000 UTCThose 3 minutes seem like a little less than “a month of fair listening”.
Well 💩 Who else dreads the next 25 yrs+
2024-02-08 23:53:39 +0000 UTCResubbed. Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing how this new iteration develops.
Be well, do good work, have fun, and keep in touch
2024-02-08 23:50:30 +0000 UTCStart a new podcast Thomas, you ruined this one and not you're riding it's coat tails. I'm going to the law and chaos podcast.
No longer the longest name in patreon, but still quite long. Brevity is the sou
2024-02-08 23:43:08 +0000 UTCI said a year ago that I wasn't going to throw the baby out with the bath water. I'll give it a month of fair listening.

2024-02-08 23:39:46 +0000 UTCyes! My first thought was the 6mth convictee could sue them for their insurance payout - but surely they'd have had to pay that back/been charged with fraud upon his conviction-overturn-ing...
I am a philosophical hole
2024-02-08 21:22:13 +0000 UTCLove the intro… perfect!

2024-02-08 21:04:58 +0000 UTCwelcome back Thomas!!
Alexander
2024-02-08 21:02:07 +0000 UTCLike other people, I grieved over the explosion, the disappointment with Andrew - and just happened to see Thomas’s announcement on Facebook this morning. Re- subscribed. Yay! (Thanks Yvette!)
Wendy Hughes
2024-02-08 20:57:19 +0000 UTCPersonally I think it's fine because by all accounts his ethics are questionable. This is independent of any association with Andrew.
Michael Rops
2024-02-08 20:51:58 +0000 UTCAgreed! He also talks much faster than Thomas so my podcast speed is all funky lol

2024-02-08 20:14:11 +0000 UTCResubscribed! I enjoyed the episode and learning about Matt. However, he pronounced Ruh-veah and Eastie wrong. Accuracy is important! 😜 Sincerely, an ex-Masshole =)

FRED R GROOTHUIS
2024-02-08 16:45:51 +0000 UTCI'm hoping it's just a hiccup as Thomas is getting back into the swing of things. He's only got 936 podcasts to deal with!

2024-02-08 16:28:15 +0000 UTCI’ve just resubbed and followed the RSS link to OA Bonus Content but there’s nothing there? A few posts from 2020 and AT’s Goodbye
Squimbelina
2024-02-08 16:17:18 +0000 UTCGlad Thomas is back! Can we get a better microphone for Matt though? His audio is softer and muddier, this episode required some effort to listen to as a result. Great story teller, though. Criticism is purely technical and fixable.
Scott Taylor
2024-02-08 15:27:49 +0000 UTCJust resubscribed after Andrew’s hostile takeover a year ago. Glad to have Thomas back where he belongs, alongside a cohost with ethics.
Dave Ellis
2024-02-08 15:21:01 +0000 UTCAs someone who grew up in and around Vancouver, WA and was blown away to even hear it mentioned by Thomas -- Why on earth would Thomas want to live there? I got my ass out of there immediately after high school, It's full of trump conservatives.

2024-02-08 14:26:25 +0000 UTCI am so happy to see the podcast back. I had missed that intro music (resubscribed after a 1y hiatus)
Alex Recuenco
2024-02-08 14:23:01 +0000 UTCI agree as well. We don’t want to risk alienating people over it. It was an excellent joke for the quick re-introduction episode, but not a wise move going forward
Alyssa Goldensohn
2024-02-08 14:13:45 +0000 UTCHey, can you please keep the episode number in the title of the episodes
Jakob
2024-02-08 14:10:51 +0000 UTCI listen to Strict Scrutiny, We Dissent, Prosecuting Donald Trump, and a number of political pods, and they all cover current events really well. But, a classic OA deep dive on immigration law is refreshing. I'm looking forward to the deep dives even more than T3BE.

2024-02-08 13:09:47 +0000 UTCOk, the intro quotes were gross. You even added a couple bespoke ones recorded just to jab at your prior cohost. So much for not being vindictive.

2024-02-08 12:05:21 +0000 UTCyeah i kinda feel the same. I think that specific line should be removed.

2024-02-08 10:31:35 +0000 UTCSo happy to have you back Thomas and welcome Matt! Yay. Today is a good day.
Kaetrin Allen
2024-02-08 09:22:58 +0000 UTCAgree on the intro comment. I think it's genuinely funny - well done putting the whole sequence together, it was excellent - but this is a joke that can only really land once. In future it's probably best to give off a "business as usual" vibe. After an excellent episode like this first one back, now it's time to make it feel like you were never gone
Boris Praversham
2024-02-08 09:19:12 +0000 UTCI was giving it even money that i'd never see the show in my feed again...going to be fun watching the line on graphtreon over the next week
FINALLY back to what's really important- announcing dates for the Seattle live show!
2024-02-08 07:21:48 +0000 UTCExcited to hear your’s and Matt’s perspective. Hell of a week congressionally. Hope this comment section stays germane to the content👍. Welcome back

2024-02-08 07:10:34 +0000 UTCThomas Whilst it is kinda funny, I’m not sure the Dersh comment in the intro is appropriate.
