In this episode of Hashing Out The Law, we welcome Solomon Schmidt, an accomplished young historian and author, for an insightful conversation about his journey and his latest biography, Legal Gladiator: The Life of Alan Dershowitz. At just 12 years old, Solomon began writing his series History Bites and has since published eight books, created over 150 educational videos, and traveled internationally to bring history to life through his YouTube channel. Known as "the youngest child historian in America," Solomon shares his unique perspective on some of history's most controversial and complex figures. Legal Gladiator dives into the life and career of Alan Dershowitz, one of America's most influential and polarizing attorneys. As a lawyer and advocate, Dershowitz's career spans high-profile cases from O.J. Simpson to Jeffrey Epstein, and his work defending the principle of a fair trial has influenced legal thinking on constitutional rights and justice. With unprecedented access to Dershowitz's personal archives and interviews, Solomon captures both the triumphs and controversies of a man who dedicated his life to the courtroom.

Would It Fly: Medieval Times off-shoot dinner theaters?   Whether you’re still traveling home from the family holiday, or you’d managed to already escape earlier in the weekend, please relax with this week’s in-flight entertainment, from WIFAirlines; historic dinner theater. Now we know this is not entirely a new concept and there are existing examples that prove the potential, but this week, joined by co-pilot Andrew Stickler, we’re steering into a discussion on how our own versions would match up comparably. So if you’ve ever wanted to watch a high noon showdown while chomping away at meat and potatoes, or dine on sushi and sake while witnessing a warrior regain his honor through seppuku, then this is an episode for you.     Co-Pilot: Andrew Stickler
