Dear listeners,

Well hello! Did you miss us?

The team that brought you All The Presidents’ Lawyers is back with Serious Trouble, an irreverent legal podcast about crimes, torts, and all the characters who find themselves in serious trouble related to them. On this show, we’ll be expanding our scope beyond presidents and their good and bad lawyers to take a look at all sorts of people who find themselves in civil or criminal peril.

We’re really excited for this new podcast, and the opportunity to take deeper dives into the legal issues that underlie major legal controversies. The Substack platform also allows us to introduce some new features and interact more with you too — more on that below.

When appropriate, we will still talk about Donald Trump, who still faces some seriously troublesome legal issues, but this is not going to be a Trump show — there is a lot of serious trouble to go around.

We will be releasing new episodes approximately weekly: at least 40 of them over the next year. We hope you enjoy our first episode, out today, and the ones that are to come. To get the episode, smash the button below.

Today’s episode is free, but Serious Trouble will offer exclusive content for listeners who become paying subscribers to the show. (And, yes, we hope you will become a paying subscriber to Serious Trouble — your support is what will make this show possible.) Even if you subscribe for free, you’ll get episodes — about half of them. But paying subscribers will get:

• Every single episode of Serious Trouble.

• Access to the comments section and what we expect to be a very lively and interactive community of listeners.

• Opportunities to interact with us, including our responses on the show to audio questions from listeners and questions from the paid-subscriber-only comments section.

You can sign up for $6 a month or $60 a year. Or if you’re a superfan, we invite you to become a Founding Member for $250, and we’ll send you an exclusive “I Survived the Josh and Ken Podcast Hiatus” mug. For those of you ready to sign up as a paid subscriber right now, you can hit this button. Pay close attention to your confirmation email — it contains our gratitude and some easy steps to add the Serious Trouble premium feed to your podcast app.

So hit that subscribe button and start listening!

Excitedly,

Josh and Ken
