Ruminants: for the love of the law
Long-form conversations with the people shaping law in Australia.

Thinking seriously about law — and where it's going
Ruminants is a legal podcast for people who want more than surface-level commentary.

Hosted by Louis White, each episode goes beyond the surface to explore the ideas, tensions, and people shaping Australian law.
