Judge Amanda Williams from #430, Very Tough Love that aired last spring has been charged with 12 counts of misconduct. That episode was a great piece of journalism and I'm sure it's gratifying to see that it had an impact. I'm accustomed to the storytelling style of TAL and I enjoy it (as long as it's not Sedaris) but I've really liked these big investigative pieces they've been doing, like this one and the Nathan Myhrvold/Intellectual Ventures episode.

I use Instacast, and other than a tendency to sometimes skip forward 30sec every once in a while when I'm resuming playback after having let it sit, it works well. I have the TAL iOS app but I almost never use it except to listen to "back catalog" stuff. I bought it mostly to toss them a few bucks.

Did Apple remove podcast capability from the Music app and force everyone into Podcasts with iOS 6? I think they still worked side-by-side when I switched to Instacast.

I bought the TAL app and was wondering if anyone could recommend some good episodes from the vault.

Anything and everything involving Scott Carrier, who doesn't contribute anymore, unfortunately. Particularly episode 181.

TAL seems to be the rare example of something that's been around for a good long time as far as media programs go, and is not just still good but continuing to evolve. It's really refreshing. I appreciate how they're willing to shake up the format sometimes; the show's better for it.
