A podcast about law to learn more about people. Every episode goes behind the scenes of a case with the lawyer who argued it, and sometimes the judge who decided it. You may ask, what makes for a great case? It might be novel, it might move the needle on a point of law, it might be shocking, or frivolous, or high profile. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t. But behind each case are the people who drive it. And that’s who we find continually fascinating, because at the end of the day ...

Dateline December 30 2023. The spinoff is now the main event. Welcome to Where's That Sound Coming From Presents: Questions But No Answers! Yes, WTSCF has become what might be the only podcast centered on the musical career of a person whom I consider to be one of the most creative, if underrated and misunderstood, musical minds of the mid-late 20th Century: the late, great Michael Nesmith.

Instead, what emerged was a rare, almo…

When we think of ballet, we think of grace, discipline, and the pursuit of perfection, not precedent-setting litigation. But within the walls of elite ballet institutions, the pursuit of perfection can blur into something darker: a culture of hierarchy, obedience, and silence.

On paper, SEPUSAC v. 9706151 Canada Limited seemed like a routine mortgage enforcement dispute. A borrower defaulted, the lender sold the properties, and the matter looked destined for the standard path of foreclosure. But the case quickly revealed itself to be anything but ordinary. What unfolded over the next seven years exposed how vulnerable On…

Long before the lawsuits, there was the story that captivated the world. Bre-X Minerals, a penny stock based in Calgary, claimed to have discovered the largest gold deposit in history deep in the jungles of Indonesia. Almost overnight, its market value soared into the billions, drawing in banks, governments, and some of the biggest players in minin…
