I'll definitely revisit this one. I'm a fan of Jeffrey Rosen (I liked his biography of Brandeis per your suggestion). But I recall being slightly annoyed at some of the live tapings this series featured. It made the conversations more forced and unnatural. I'm not criticizing the participants but found myself distracted by the stress in their voice. Are those live tapings a minority of the series? I'll happily revisit it.
Most of the episodes are Rosen playing moderator to two lawyers who have opposing views of some constitutional issue. My biggest problem with it is that they don't really do sound recording, editing, or mixing very well. I don't know anything about how one should do that, but I know when something consistently sounds like pure shit. Sometimes I think that Rosen just has the record feature of his iPhone turned on, and then puts that directly on air.
I'll give it another go. Any particularly good episodes you recommend?
