The Democracy Works podcast is produced by The McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State and WPSU Penn State, central Pennsylvania’s NPR station.

Guest Dahlia Lithwick at the Democracy Works podcast:

Dahlia Lithwick has covered the Supreme Court since the landmark Bush v. Gore decision in 2000. In that time, she’s seen a sea change in the court itself, as well as the way that journalists cover it. We discuss those trends in this episode, as well as how former President Trump’s legal team has changed since the 2020 election.

Lithwick is the host of Amicus, Slate’s podcast about the law and the Supreme Court, and author of “Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America.” She has held visiting faculty positions at the University of Georgia Law School, the University of Virginia School of Law, and the Hebrew University Law School in Jerusalem.
