We launched something new — and it's for anyone tired of hearing sloppy arguments pass unchallenged.LSAT Logic Applied is a new short-form podcast hosted by me, Andrew Leahey, the steady (?) voice at the helm of Minimum Competence. Twice a week, we'll take the tools used in LSAT Logical Reasoning — assumptions, flaws, causation, strengthen/weaken — and apply them to the real world: news stories, political talking points, and ad claims.You don't need to be prepping for the LSAT to follow along. The goal is to make better sense of the arguments that flood your feed and shape public opinion — and to see where they break.In the debut episode, included here just this once as an introduction to the show, we take on a recurring claim from Donald Trump: that tariffs made the United States the richest nation in the world. Fact checkers have pushed back on the economic accuracy, but for LSAT purposes, we're more interested in the structure of the argument than its fiscal bottom line.And structurally, there's a lot to talk about. Causation flaws, hidden assumptions, and post hoc reasoning — it's a logical mess with political consequences.Find it wherever you get your finely crafted podcasts. This is a public episode.

In Episode 137 of Let's Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie and Sydney discuss why many students and adults seek testing accommodations only when facing high-stakes exams such as the SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, GRE, bar exam, or medical licensing tests. Requests often come from two groups: high-school students whose families are newly aware of the accommodations process, and older college or graduate students who are suddenly told--often by tutors or counselors--that extra time could help them. For many, this realization comes too late, triggering panic as they confront a complex and bureaucratic approval system they never knew existed.Resources:Contact info for the podcast: letstalklearningdisabilities@gmail.comE-Diagnostic Learning Website: https://ediagnosticlearning.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/eDiaglearning/Twitter: @diaglearningLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/diagnostic-learning-services/Instagram: @diaglearning

This week we're checking out a podcast that's in the LCU - lolcow universe. Tina and Savage have to manufacture drama everyday in order to keep the audience interested and more importantly, donating money! This show is all about the viewers forking over cash (sound familiar?) Jen from the Jingles Department joins us to break down Tina's makeover. Rick Glassman and John Goblikon just do it. Whitney Cummings, the world's biggest podcaster (lol), thinks she's hosting a comedy podcast. It's wild how unfunny and ill-informed she is but at least the comments are funny. Stuttering John is making up wild lies about acing the LSAT and selling his boat. Ashley Cummings is somehow even dumber than her sister when it comes to current events and politics. In a separate segment, Jen watched John from his hotel room explain he has never done anything wrong.
