  • Shot No. 2 - The Disappearance of Regional Sports Networks

    Join Eric in this short recap of the biggest sports story that nobody is talking about as he explains why the Department of Justice, ESPN, and a judge in Texas may be the reason you won't be able to find your favorite sports team playing on TV (or even the internet) in a few months' time.

  • Shot No. 1 - The Ford Motor Company Shareholder Litigation

    In the first of (hopefully) many specialized shortened episodes, Eric takes you through the original case that birthed the idea for the podcast, the Ford Motor Company Shareholder Litigation that took place over 100 years ago. Learn why corporations are (sort of) legally required to be greedy, and how Henry Ford lost millions on a little white lie. And for those who listen until the end, there's a bit of a plot reveal payoff.
