Our Editor's Take

The People's Court Podcast is a great listen for audiences who enjoy hearing about legal cases. This podcast is the audio version of The People's Court. That is the popular TV show that has featured compelling cases since its 1981 debut. These episodes feature cases that would be in small claims court. Instead, the plaintiffs and defendants agreed to be on the show and accept whatever the ruling is here. This podcast provides insight into how each ruling impacts all people involved. And it doesn't leave out comedic relief. Judge Marilyn Milian is more than a good jurist. She is also entertaining and funny.

Before joining the show, Judge Milian had an extensive career. She attended law school at Georgetown University. After graduating with her J.D., she spent a year working at Harvard Law School. From there, she continued her career in Florida. She was an assistant state attorney and a local judge. In 2001, Judge Milian took the bench on The People's Court. Today, she is the longest-standing justice in the show's history. She has presided over the action-packed courtroom for over two decades.

Listeners applaud Judge Milian for her toughness and her unbiased views of the law. She asks the right questions, accepts no excuses, and figures out even the most confusing cases. Cases include tenant disputes and catering catastrophes. She also deals with squatting sisters and nasty neighbors. She solves issues involving unpaid loans, lackadaisical landlords, and everyone between. And she does it all while deciding what's fair, right, and just.

The People's Court Podcast is ideal for listeners of shows like Court TV Podcast, 48 Hours, and True Crime Daily.
