Our Editor's Take

The Reasonable Doubt podcast is an outstanding podcast that examines current events through a legal lens. Fans of strong legal analyses will enjoy the show. The show's title comes from the legal term about determining guilt in a criminal case. The main host is Mark Geragos, a well-known criminal defense and litigation lawyer. One of his cohosts is Adam Carolla, the popular radio and TV host. Their natural chemistry makes the subject matter easy to understand.

Geragos's legal knowledge is clear in each episode. This makes Reasonable Doubt a standout in the genre. The podcast promises a comprehensive exploration of current events with clear explanations. In one episode, Geragos speaks about updates in Harvey Weinstein's appeals case. with his cohost. He uses his experience as a defense lawyer to explain how a prosecuting lawyer works. He explains how they try to assassinate a defendant's character. He also discusses how juries work based on his many years of professional experience. And he gives his perspective on how Weinstein's lawyers are likely to approach the appeals court.

In another episode, the podcast explores aspects of the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial. The Reasonable Doubt hosts play direct clips from the trial. One memorable section of the podcast shows us a lawyer who struggled to ask a question. Listeners heard the opposing lawyer object to the question multiple times. The judge sustained the objection multiple times. Geragos tells us how he would approach this type of question. He explains the advice he would offer to the lawyer in this case. The hosts offer a neutral viewpoint of the court case, and give a balanced account of the legal process.

Some episodes discuss the notorious Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Additionally, the hosts talk about local topics such as scandals from the Los Angeles City Council. In other episodes, the podcast discusses stories from Carolla's and Gerargos' communities. No matter what the topic, Reasonable Doubt is an entertaining legal podcast.
