 Itinerary

Opening

Hello and welcome to Learning the Law, a podcast about all things legal with a focus on current events where we try to teach you things in an hour. My name is Phoenix with my co-host and spouse, Ron. This podcast is purely educational and should not be taken as legal advice, this podcast does not create an attorney-client relationship, this podcast is based on our interpretation of relevant law. Any opinions expressed are the opinions of the individual making them and do not reflect the opinions of any firm, company, or other individuals. Ron is a licensed practicing attorney in the state of California and Phoenix is a journalist who’s been in the film industry for over 20 yrs. This podcast does touch on a lot of sensitive subjects like sexual assault and police brutality we just want our audience to be aware. Remember, you can always pause and come back.

Did you know that the term gauze comes from the city of Gaza? Did you also know that we are helping raise funds to get a family out of Gaza? We are trying to help the Alghouti family reach their brother, Shadi, in Canada. Dr.s Adel, Adli and their families are trying to flee the horrors of the genocide of Palestine. On March 11, 2024. Dr. Adli and his son were injured in front of the Emerati hospital; he is recovering and doing okay but he is limited in what he is capable of and really needs to evacuate so that they can fully recover. Links to the gofundme are in the show notes and podcast description. Right now we’re aiming for a goal of $30,000 by the end of June. I will come out of retirement and play Alien Isolation if we hit that goal!
