In Season 1 of their podcast, they give you the straight talk on how the system really works by tackling topics like racism, guns, DUI cases, public defenders, bad witness identifications, shady police practices, and much more.

By the end, they’ll blast into space to be immortalized for eternity as the Keanu and Swayze of the Virginia criminal justice world. Seriously.
