Documentary #242

Cafe Studios presents Doing Justice, hosted by Preet Bharara. Justice is about doing the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. And it's about making sure that no one is above the law. Doing Justice is CAFE's new narrative podcast, based on host Preet Bharara's bestselling book. In each episode Preet explores the key elements of a case from the unique perspective of the prosecutor whose job it is to grapple with urgent moral and legal questions. Should we allow an elected official to run for re-election while he’s under investigation? Can we prosecute a police officer for planning to kidnap his victims? Preet is the host of the hit podcast Stay Tuned and is the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. It is not always clear how justice works, and he is the perfect person to take us through each investigation, unravel a mystery, and ultimately show us how things can be made right again. Subscribe now to Doing Justice - from CAFE Studios, produced in partnership with Transmitter Media.

    This is excellent. I sure hope for future seasons.

    Music???
    The content is beyond perfect. Well structured podcast. But to me, the music makes this a bit hard to listen to. Listening details of a MURDER to funky music isn’t my linking.

    Keep your political views to yourself
    Didn’t appreciate blaming former President for “Asian Hare Crimes” in episode 2 and will not be listening.
  • lizmeister7
    Fascinating episodes
    Looking in hindsight, these analyses are truly helpful in understanding what the law is supposed to do. It’s gotten so convoluted, it seems, and subject to tricks, performance, foppish disgusting behavior. I can only hope that Preet et al. will present the fall of tRUmp, the kids, Barr, Stone, Flynn, Bannon, and the GOP in similar future episodes.

    Fantastic!
    Easy to listen to and follow. Great stories. I wish there were more episodes.
  • Weatfyh
    Greatest! Podcast!
    I wish he would write more books and tell more stories of his life prosecuting scum. It is well done and I thank them.
  • koko915
    Great podcast
    This was a sit in the driveway kind of podcast for every episode. The last one though is everything. Thank for these moments.
  • Ansorbed Listener
    Fabulous!
    Fabulous! Enough said.
  • Phlashphelps
    Bravo!
    Another must-listen-to podcast from Preet. Tight, interesting story telling.

    Mystery. Suspense. Justice.
    This is a wonderful series, well-written, often funny, often wrenching, true-life cases of real people looking for justice. Engrossing. Amazing. And very, very, New York: has a kind of hard-boiled 40’s police detective vibe that I just love.

    Grade A
    Okay. I listen to a LOTTA case file/real crime podcasts. (What else to do at 4:30am in a pandemic?) I’m a regular con-a-sewer. Smile. Most podcasts are junk, told in ramble-on, slow motion just to fill time, made by bloggers who have no business ever speaking into a mic. Not this one. PB gets to the point, keeps it moving, is succinct. The horn section helps. There is no better feel-good tale to be told than an against-the-odds exoneration of an innocent person who gets out of the pokey for a crime they didn’t commit. Keep ‘em coming.

    Compelling
    Just listened to the first episode. As a former Brooklyn ADA I found it quite gripping. 👍
  • LALTLT
    Exceptional and unique series
    Episodes focus on one story at a time - great for bite-sized stories, all very moving and exciting, almost like spy stories, but with morals and practical information about the US legal system. Highly recommend!
  • mkflores
    Thanks for taking the time!
    I have heard so much about Preet B. In the news. I am so happy to find this podcast. Such an intelligent, thoughtful, and ethical man. Helps restore my faith in our justice system!!!
  • dtscanlo
    Smart podcast with praise worthy overarching morals
    Preet does a superb job overall. Love the way he presents challenging moral questions and interweaves them through each episode (e.g., episode 3’s discussion on pre-crime). He also does an excellent job in answering the next logical question that pops into the listener’s mind. Great so far.
  • September1950
    Listen to this!
    Intelligent and interesting.
  • JazzCritic
    Everything about this...
    ...simply rocks. It’s like a cheesy crime podcast except that it’s interesting and written exceptionally well with first hand knowledge.
  • Tojomama
    AMAZING
    This is riveting. Amazing story telling. Will have to read the book, too!
  • Rexy2019

    Go forbid!
    So well done - dramatized. I remember this tragic story. And still, I was sitting on the edge of my seat. These podcasts truly are amazing!
  • CaroleeAlexa3

  • markdavis9k
    100% pure awesomeness!
    Gripping and poignant. I can’t wait for the next episode. Highly recommended.
  • aaron569494
    interesting
    very entertaining and informative
  • veronicathecat
    Good stuff
    Just trying to get the word out about this well produced podcast. Preet, don’t get your feelings 😔 hurt as you recently mentioned (or, maybe overly competitive on this, just saying). Probably everyone’s already read the book and that’s a good thing, right?
  • stoman12
    What a great episode!
    With each I find that I can’t stop listening- I want to know what happened and don’t want to be interrupted by anything!
  • Extramission
    Love this show
    It is so nice to hear Preet host a narrative podcast. The book was so good and the podcast is even better.
  • Remoh Cuz
    Awesome
    I could listen to this all day. Now interested in his book.
  • echo dog
    Must listen ! Even if you’ve read the book.
    Wasn’t sure I’d bother since I (pre ordered and devoured) read the book. But I love Preet so have it a go. Super super. Will definitely keep going and share!
  • Seamusdd
    My new favorite podcast!
    This entire pandemic has allowed me even more time to listen to podcasts and I listened to a ton before Covid! I love all things Preet and his team at Cafe and this one is the cream of the crop!
  • rawr and a half
    Even better than the book
    Great podcast. The book was fascinating and as a lawyer who doesn’t practice in the criminal justice system I learned a lot from it — but the podcast brings the stories alive with interviews with the people involved along with Preet’s insights. Highly recommended.

    Riveting Preet! Sharing stories like Eric’s and much of what you’ve been doing since being pushed out from SDNY gives me great hope during these challenging times in this country. Please keep pushing ahead to help educate us all. Thank you!
  • lightscriptor
    Thank you DJT?!
    Indirectly, we have DJT to thank for the Cafe.com Podcasts and the Doing Justice Book
  • magic meadow
    Well done!
    For anyone who read the book it is very worthwhile to listen to the podcast. I didn’t realize Preet would bring in the participants of the cases be they the victim, the prosecutor, the investigator etc. Their voices add so much to the reality of the cases. And they are so well produced, special shout out for the music production and mix. Thanks to the whole team.

    Doing justice
    I really enjoyed this podcast. It was presented in an entertaining way but about a very serious injustice that was righted! It was most insightful as to corruption in our New York legislature. And I am sure that there is corruption in many other state legislatures Thank you Preet for this presentation!!!
  • Nina Cocodrila
    Love this podcast
    Wish there were more eps so I could binge listen all day. Compelling and perfect storytelling. I can imagine a big Hollywood movie for each episode.
  • maddielen55
    Riveting
    This was an insightful eye opener! What an amazing story of integrity and perseverance. I was equally captivated by the way Eric chose to use the unfortunate circumstances to better himself. And the west that John and Margaret wouldn’t back down until justice was served. Great episode. Thank you.
  • algalhi
    Wow! What a Podcast!
    I love Preet’s other 2 podcasts. This one has amazing production values and we get to actually hear the people involved in the story. Great first episode that is near and dear to my heart - about a wrongful conviction and the prosecutors who went the extra mile to right the wrong.
  • janejustice
    Terrific narrative
    Story is compelling and heart-wrenching but the telling is superb. Excellent writing , delivery, and production.
  • nn squared
    Episode 1 hooked me...
    The first episode was very compelling...leave it to Preet to offer up humanity as the source of justice...well done...
  • Onlyinmydreams
    Inspiring
    Just the first episode convinces me that there are still ethical people who will do the right thing regardless of time, effort or ego. Thank you Preet!!
  • Tayvallich
    Love Doing Justice Podcast
    Another fabulous podcast from the incomparable Preet Bharara. Thank-you!
  • ESK12321232123
    Preet does it again!
    I have been an avid Preet podcast listener from the beginning - seeing Preet live, becoming an “Insider” and now I’m a fan of Doing Justice too. Great first episode! I’m so impressed with the resilience and grace shown by Eric Glisson and the resolve of the people on the outside working to prove his innocence. Great job Preet!!
  • ScottNelson
    I never had a Podcast make me cry…
    Wow. We go to the movies to see fake super heroes, not realizing there are real super heroes walking among us. The story of a man wrongly incarcerated for 17 years cannot be comprehended by any of us who have never seen the inside of a prison, much less been convicted of a crime we did not commit and then sentenced to 25 years to life. But the moment when a federal prosecutor tells him that he believes he is innocent is enough to make me get misty eyed just thinking about it. Kudos to all that were involved in freeing this man. A terrible injustice was done, but thanks to all of you, it was much less worse than it could have been. You are all super, human heroes.
  • ClairBear1166
    Compelling. Very!
    This first episode is so compelling and I find myself feeling more empathetic by understanding that justice, despite all the best intentions, can get it wrong.
  • Meheal
    Great even if you already know the stories!
    Longtime Bharara fan here. Gobbled up the book shortly after it came out and loved it. Skeptical about the podcast — thought it would be a yawn if the content simply replicated what was in the book. Well. Hearing these stories in the words and voices of the people were involved/affected was so powerful it brought me to tears more than once. Can’t wait for the next episode to drop. Fascinating AND such a comfort to know that there are folks so deeply committed to doing the right thing. Thank you, Preet and all.
  • Amylynn1414
    Equity
    Preet—-hope you have some equity in Cafe. Another winner for you and the team.
  • jaypeegee55
    Outstanding AND great music!
    I knew this podcast would be great. The book was fantastic, and, well, it’s Preet Bharara. What surprised me was the very cool music. But again, it’s Preet, so we shouldn’t be surprised at that. Thanks for this inspiring and entertaining podcast. Looking forward to more.
