  • Read It And Weep
    One of the funniest podcasts out there

    If you're like me you hate things that suck, and there are a lot of things that suck out there in the world. Thankfully, Read It And Weep is there to dish it out to the crappy pop fiction that deserve it the most. Twilight, The Lost Symbol... The Notebook.... They all had it coming. Listen and enjoy!

The debate over Plain vs. Precision English rages on in courtrooms, boardrooms, and, yes, even bedrooms. Here, Adam Freedman deciphers the curious wording and odd phrasing behind legal lingo for the rest of us in plain English. Adam Freedman writes the “Legal Lingo" column for the New York Law Journal Magazine and was a litigator before joining a major investment bank where he earns his living decoding policies and procedures into plain English. He holds degrees from Yale, Oxford, and the University of Chicago and has written for Newsweek International and Slate.com, among others.
