Episode 606: Live from Portland, OR

Episode notes

This week’s episode was recorded live in front of an audience at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR! Our first case is BROCCO-LEADING THE WITNESS: Alan brings the case against his wife Christy. Alan wants to introduce broccoli into their 14-month-old daughter’s diet. Christy has a phobia of broccoli, and doesn’t want any in the house unless she’s out of town. But Alan wants to serve it to their daughter more frequently. PLUS: Swift Justice featuring the legendary Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney!

Evidence from Portland, OR

A vertical photo of a refrigerator with its left door open. There are jars of sauce and dressing on the top shelf, cartons of milk and a red bell pepper on the bottom shelf, and cans of beer and other beverages on the shelves in the door. The crisper drawer, below the bottom shelf, has been Photoshopped to appear as though it's full to bursting with green heads of broccoli.
