A new a 12-part podcast series “Class Action” is coming soon to a platform near you. The documentary-style podcast tracks a diverse cast of college and law students who are battling it out in mock trial competitions across the country. Producers Lisa Gray and Kevin Huffman spent a year recording the grueling bootcamps, scrimmages and competitions with teams from Brooklyn Law, St. Mary’s University in San Antonio and the University of South Dakota. Listeners will hear the law students reach near-exhaustion arguing cases in high-stakes tournaments. The series also includes an undergraduate team from Dillard University in New Orleans, which recovered from COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida to make a “Cinderella” run at the national championship. Watch for the series; the first two episodes are set to drop June 7 on iHeart, Apple and other major platforms.
