Serious Trouble

Josh Barro, Ken White

Booking Overview

This is a co-hosted legal-analysis show focused on current litigation, courts, criminal law, and constitutional issues; the recent format is host-led commentary rather than recurring interviews with external guests. A prominent attorney, legal scholar, or practitioner directly involved in a major case could be relevant if the hosts occasionally accept guests, but the show is not currently an established conventional booking target and guest-booking difficulty is therefore not applicable.
