Great Resource + Real Talk-!

I’m new to the work comp industry. There are few resources for those of us who are learning as we go. Often times those who have been in the department longer, aren’t always the best trainers. So thank you for these podcasts. They’re easy to understand, and they speak to all levels. I can’t give you five stars, because the only thing wrong with this podcast is it’s not Minnesota specific.

Quality Legal Podcast

I am a third year law student with an interest in workers' compensation. This podcast has been an absolute delight for my commute to school and work. Alan & Judson Pierce are fantastic hosts and each possess the keen ability to elucidate complex WC issues. I find my interest piqued with every episode.
