Show overview
Boom! Lawyered has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 320 episodes, alongside 3 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 150 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 22 min and 33 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Government show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 3 days ago, with 26 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2019, with 45 episodes published. Published by Rewire News Group.

Ep 302We Did the Reading. Fascism Came Anyway.
EThe most informed progressive public in American history is watching a fascist takeover in real time. In her first solo episode, Imani Gandy wants to know why. From Black Twitter to the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act dying in the Senate twice, she builds the argument—and then pokes holes in it herself. She doesn't have a clean answer. That's why she's asking. Correction: In this episode I state that New York cut a billion dollars from the police budget — they pledged to cut a billion but ultimately cut approximately half a million. I also state that Los Angeles boosted its budget by 3 percent after cutting 150 million — the actual increase was closer to 6 percent. The broader point stands: both cities reversed course.
