About the Podcast:

The idea will be to record a quick commentary, no more than weekly (and typically less than weekly) and never longer than 20 minutes, either about something I don't feel like covering in a full-blown blogpost, or something that I have already covered in the blog and don't feel like revisiting. Eventually I might include responses to comments, interviews, roundtable discussions, etc.

Announcing the Stitch in Haste Podcast!
Now available — the Stitch in Haste Podcast!

The idea will be to record a quick commentary, no more than weekly (and typically less than weekly) and never longer than 20 minutes, either about something I don't feel like covering in a full-blown blogpost, or something that I have already covered in the blog and don't feel like revisiting. Eventually I might include responses to comments, interviews, roundtable discussions, etc.*

Still undergoing some technological refinements (e.g., the noise filter didn't work very well this time). Please be patient.

Episode #001:
A discussion of the student free speech case Doninger v. Niehoff and what role Morse v. Frederick (a/k/a the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus case") should — or should not — play in deciding it. (Background on the Doninger appeal here; my previous post on it here.)
