Lawyer2Lawyer
This high-quality podcast features timely topics and guests whose perspectives add context to legal affairs issues in the news. Podcasters J. Craig Williams of Newport Beach, Calif., and Robert Ambrogi (see Legal Blog Watch listing) keep the conversation going each week with insightful questions and commentary. And the catchy Lawyer2Lawyer theme brags that listening is “the most fun you can have while wearing a vest.”

Out-Law Radio
One of the things we like about Out-Law Radio, besides its pro quality and journalist Matthew Magee’s accent, is that it’s usually a breezy 10 minutes. The show offers a weekly overview of international technology law news. The podcast is published by London-based firm Pinsent Masons’ Out-Law.com, which beat out ABAJournal.com for a 2008 Webby Award. But we’re not bitter, since we still won the popularity contest. Remember our five-word speech: “Had we lost, we’d sue.”

Hearsay Culture
David Levine hosts this radio-interview show on KZSU-FM at Stanford University. Guests from the intersection of technology and culture discuss books and theories shaping the development of Internet law. Show descriptions and bios are listed in blog format on the site. Warning: The shows are academic and, as a result, very long.

FBI: Gotcha!
As spawn of the reality/infotainment genre, this podcast comes directly from the FBI’s public affairs desk and features cases closed by the FBI. So if you have one minute each week to hear about cases they’re proud of, hit play.
