Quick heads up that our weekly lo-fi LSAT stream runs again tonight from 5 to 8 PM ET on YouTube. Free, no signup, just join here: https://youtube.com/live/_G77R2xupeU?feature=share
Starting with PT140, Mikey's working through unseen LSAT questions live, talking through strategies and notes as he goes. Ambient music in the background, baby animal clips mixed in. Super chill vibes.
Good for studying alongside, following question by question, or just having the LSAT on while you do other work.
We're running it on Tuesdays. See you tonight!
@MikaelaS Good to know! The plan is to structure it so that the LSAT content/LSAT interviews come first so that you'll still have plenty of applicable material to listen to and then can end it if you're not interested in the admissions stuff yet. We will add that question to the queue. Thanks!
Hey all,
Quick heads up on where the podcast is going. If you've listened to last week's or this week's episode, you may have noticed a shift in our format.
The short version: we're covering the whole path now, not just the LSAT. Applications, scholarship negotiation, personal statements, picking a school, paying for it, what 1L is actually like, etc. We're planning to have multiple segments every episode highlighting different aspects of the journey. Although we're still feeling it out, I think our most consistent episode format will be: LSAT advice segment, LSAT journey, Admissions Q/A. We're also going to be featuring some longer form interviews with special guests in the LSAT, law school and legal arenas.
A few things I want from you.
First, what do you think of the new direction? Honest reactions welcome, including if you preferred the old LSAT-centric format. Any suggestions are welcome!
Second, tell me what to cover. What's the question you can't get a real answer to? What do you wish someone would just sit down and explain?
And if you've got a specific question you want answered on air, send that too. We'll pull from the thread for future episodes.
Reply here or DM me.
