OA201: Follow Up Friday!
Today's Rapid Response Friday is actually a Follow Up Friday!\xa0 We revisit four stories from recent episodes and go into more depth on each one, particularly in light of recent developments. We begin with our most recent story regarding reporter's privilege in Episode 200.\xa0 What's the other side of the argument?\xa0 Find out why friend of the show Randall Eliason thinks that reporter's ought\xa0not to have the right to keep their sources confidential! After that, we move back one more episode to Episode 199 and tackle some important listener questions about asbestos.\xa0 Along the way, we discuss the difference between strict liability and negligence and delve into theories of market share liability. Our main segment covers the unsurprising fact that Masterpiece Cakeshop is back in the news.\xa0 What does this mean?\xa0 How has the Supreme Court's decision changed the landscape for religious exemptions to laws?\xa0 Listen and find out! After that, we go back to Yodel Mountain and check in with the conclusion of the Manafort trial.\xa0 Phew! And if all that wasn't enough, we\xa0end with an all new Thomas (and Yvette) Take The Bar Exam #89 involving the appropriate damages for breach of contract. If you'd like to play along, just\xa0retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess and the #TTTBE hashtag.\xa0 We'll release the answer on next Tuesday's episode along with our favorite entry! Recent Appearances None!\xa0 If you'd like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at openarguments@gmail.com. Show Notes & Links
