The Miami Law Explainer podcast closes season 10, with more than 45,000 downloads from listeners as far away as Japan and Germany since its unveiling in 2018.
The podcast has logged 138 episodes, including this season's top tracks, "Property Law and the Confederate Monuments," with environmental and property scholar Jessica Owley discussing her paper about rehoming Confederate statues; constitutional scholar Charlton Copeland unboxing the state of the current Supreme Court of the United States with the episode "On Deck and in the Wings at SCOTUS;" and "The State of Legal Education" with David Yellen, dean and M. Minnette Massey Professor of Law.
Continuing this season, Associate Dean of Intellectual Life Charlton Copeland added value with episodes dubbed Takeoffs and Landings, interviewing his colleagues and discussing their research and scholarship.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to share this platform," said Copeland. "It's success and reach will provide us with an opportunity to showcase the faculty's research and scholarship in ways that we haven't done before. I hope that hearing scholars talk about their work in this way give a broader audience an incentive to engage work that endeavors to shape public policy and opinion."
