Hey, this is Chad. So a couple of us here have been working really hard for the past few months on a new spin-off, Radio Labs first spinoff called More Perfect. It is a mini-series about the Supreme Court. We've been working on it for months and months. We just released our first episode last week. We're super proud of it. And I'm talking to you now because I want you to

subscribe to this podcast. I think you will really like this podcast. If you like Radio Lab, you will

like this podcast. So I'm actually going to do one better. We're actually going to feature a couple of

episodes of More Perfect on this podcast on Radio Lab. Because we really think you'll like it.

And that we hope you'll go to iTunes or Google or wherever it is. You get your podcast and you'll

subscribe and you'll spread the word. Because if people listen to this thing, maybe we'll keep doing it.

All right. So what you're about to hear is episode two of More Perfect, our new spin-off on the

Supreme Court.

Episode one is already out.

The voice you're going to hear is Susie Lechtenberg, who is my main collaborator on the

project.

She was a longtime executive producer of Freakonomics, and she and are basically cooking up this project together.

So here it is, episode two.

Hope you like it.

Well, I think we should start the story on June 25, 1969.

Well, first you should say who you are.

I'm Susie Lechtenberg.

I'm Janet.

Rod, this is more perfect.

Okay, so why June 20, when was it? June 25th, 1969. Why then?

Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren is retiring. Earl Warren of the Warren Court.

Is that a big court? Yeah, that's really big. No, come on. Humor me.
