About the show

You were smart enough not to go to law school. Good—that's what Imani Gandy is for. Baby Boom! Lawyered is the micropodcast from the co-creator of Boom! Lawyered: two or three short episodes a week on the fastest-moving legal fights for reproductive justice. Everything from abortion rights to trans discrimination to racial justice, translated by someone who sat through the three years so you didn't have to. Produced by Rewire News Group.
