The Goods from the Woods - Episode #195 – “The Balloon Boy Incident” with Steve Chiotakis
In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by L.A. radio legend, Steve Chiotakis, Afternoon News Anchor for KCRW here in Los Angeles! So, we figured that since we have a legitimate newsman in the studio, we might as well talk about the moment in 2009 when the news (specifically 24 hour cable news) "jumped the shark". On October 15, 2009, the nation was captivated by events in the skies above Denver, Colorado where a UFO shaped balloon supposedly carrying a six year old boy named "Falcon" inside of it was floating across the sky and the nation was RIVETED. When the balloon laded, there was no boy inside, and suddenly everything just exploded. The whole story of the Heene Family is one of the craziest things you'll ever hear and you will be surprised (or maybe you won't be) to find out what they're like now. This episode is such a good time. Follow Steve on all forms of social media @RadioChio.

Opening Arguments - OA175: Defending a Client In the Shadow of the Death Penalty (& So Much More!)
Today's episode takes a deep dive into two important Supreme Court opinions decided last week: McCoy v. Louisiana, which prohibits attorneys from conceding their client's guilt over that client's objections in a capital murder trial, and Murphy v. NCAA, which struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), 28 U.S. Code § 3701 et seq. In both cases, we hope to show that these cases have two legitimate sides. We begin, of course, with sportsball. What is PASPA, why did the Court strike it down, does it make sense, and most importantly: when can you bet against the San Jose Sharks? In the main segment, we break down the difficult questions surrounding the representation of capital murder defendants. After that, we head back overseas with a really insightful listener comment that takes us deeper into the law of treaties. Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #76 about present recollection refreshed.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Lepidopterology (BUTTERFLIES) with Phil Torres
Butterflies are gross. Yes they are delightful and beautiful and part of any idyllic picnic-scape but lepidopterologist, TV host and jungle explorer Phil Torres is here to gossip about how shamelessly disgusting our favorite bugs actually are. Learn their secrets, their mating habits, how they turn themselves into goo and then into another creature, what moth os the most goth, what flowers to plant to attract them, the scariest thing about the jungle and what it feels like to help discover new species. Also butterflies get sloppy drunk and we talk all about it.

The Gist - Two-Party Problems
On The Gist, Hawaii’s “laze” is some seriously bad branding.
In the interview, our two-party system may seem inevitable, but political scientist Sam Rosenfeld digs into its engineered history, including the 1950 government report that pushed the country “Toward a More Responsible Two-Party System.” Before then, what you thought about health care, guns, or abortion had little to do with where your vote went. Rosenfeld is the author of The Polarizers: Postwar Architects of Our Partisan Era.
In the Spiel, the latest school shooter didn’t raise any red flags or wield an AR-15. But gun control is still what we need.

The Allusionist - 78. Oot in the Open
You are born and raised in a household speaking a language. Then you start going to school, and that language is banned. If you speak it, you’ll be punished physically or psychologically. Across your country, there are people like you who associate their first language with shame, or not even being a language at all. This is the predicament of the Scots language.
