Anthony has spent his career in courtrooms and appellate courts, doing the kind of work that requires careful thought about law, power, and what the system actually is versus what it claims to be.The Anthony John, Esq. Podcast brings that same method — a lawyer's instinct for evidence, an appellate advocate's discipline for argument — to a wide range of interests: law, politics, faith, philosophy, and the uncomfortable distance between the stated principles of our institutions and how they actually behave.Some episodes are about cases and courts. Some are about current events. Others trace the deeper questions underneath. There are neither hot takes here nor cold neutrality. The goal is clarity. Honest argument. Serious thought. And, from time to time, a willingness to say plainly what everyone else is trying too hard not to say.
