  • Case File #217: Lockout Lowdown

    Case File #217: Lockout Lowdown
    Oct 21 2026
    As baseball fans sink their teeth into the 2026 World Series, they might not realize the 2027 season is in jeopardy. Host Roshini Rajkumar turns to the show's sports guru and legal eagle Steve Silton of Cozen O'Connor for all the hits, runs, and errors. That's right, a lockout looms. December 1 is the deadline for Major League Baseball owners and players to come to a deal or risk throwing a lockout. It's been 5 years since a 99-day lockout in 2021 and more than 30 years since a baseball strike that lasted 232 days. That strike hurt the sport as a whole. The big issue: A salary cap. Baseball has never had a cap or a floor. Steve shares why the NFL's focus on parity is a winning strategy: Having a hard cap and a hard floor allows every fan to think their team has a chance at the beginning of the season. Find out what is needed to prevent a lockout and how competition for the eyeballs of fans puts a very challenged sport to the test. At such a critical moment for America's storied pastime, we send good vibes to negotiations that could see extra innings after the 2026 World Series is in the rearview.

    Case File #216: Order in The Court
    Oct 14 2026
    An awesome responsibility. Even a civic privilege. That's what jury selection and jury duty are in the United States judicial process. Host Roshini Rajkumar takes us in session with Judge Lois Conroy of Minnesota District Court. Though rules may vary state to state and with the federal system, one thing remains true for all in Judge Conroy's words: "It is an enormous responsibility and one I find that jurors as a whole take seriously." TV crime shows don't always get rules of evidence right or follow actual laws accurately. In light of high-profile cases like Lindsay Clancy's, we also see jurors getting scrutinized for their actions. In a time when jurors are more likely than ever to do media interviews and threats against judges keep climbing, this episode lays out the players and the process, inviting you to become more civically savvy before you squawk at how a crime is charged, who the participants are, and what would happen if you were in that courtroom as a judge of the facts.

    We might have to re-name this one Wisdom Bombs. Host Roshini Rajkumar's walk back to the football field with Super Bowl Champ Matt Birk provides plenty of extra points and few fumbles. The Crisis Files caught up with Matt not long after he turned fifty to find out about life since his fifteen seasons playing in the NFL and retiring by his own choice. The former Baltimore Raven and Minnesota Viking gets real about the grind before game days that instilled a "work harder" attitude in his own life. He credits the sport with teaching him everything he needed to know and apply to his marriage, business ventures, and parenting eight kids. Mainly: Show up. Join a spree through emotions and poignant reflections by this six-time Pro Bowler and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year recipient. Plus, go inside the pivotal conversation Matt had with his former offensive line coach Mike Tice about his former teammate John Randle and Matt's special wish regarding Commissioner Roger Goodell.
