Top podcast episodes in FY23–24
The Lawyers Weekly Podcast Network remains one of the most popular industry-specific podcast streams in the country, covering anything and everything pertaining to the business of law. Here are the 10 most downloaded episodes from the recently concluded financial year.
Speaking about the show’s run over the course of the most recent financial year, Lawyers Weekly editor Jerome Doraisamy said the constantly shifting professional services marketplace and the experiences of practitioners on the ground have led to some fascinating and stimulating conversations.
“It remains a hugely challenging time for legal practitioners of all stripes, but the market is also rife with opportunity. This means there is always something of note to discuss on our shows,” he said.
“We’ve no doubt that the new financial year will give rise to even more illuminating chats, as legal professionals look to navigate the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, bolstered competition for work, and an ongoing disconnect in generational attitudes about workplace attendance, salaries, and other matters.”
Looking ahead, Doraisamy noted that Lawyers Weekly is always on the hunt for lawyers to tell interesting stories or offer constructive thought leadership for their peers.
“We go to great lengths to find lawyers and industry experts who can offer insightful, inspiring guidance for Australian practitioners so they can be the best versions of themselves in an ever-changing, volatile environment,” he said.
“We always welcome pitches and suggestions – if you’re keen to be on the show, or know of someone worthwhile, don’t hesitate to reach out!”
