Stay Tuned with Preet

Preet Bharara spent years as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, prosecuting everyone from corrupt politicians to Wall Street fraudsters. Now he brings that firsthand experience to Stay Tuned with Preet, one of the most popular legal podcasts around with nearly 32,000 ratings and a 4.8-star average. The show drops twice weekly, with episodes running about an hour each. The format is primarily interview-driven. Bharara sits down with legal experts, journalists, political figures, and authors to unpack whatever is dominating the headlines. His interviewing style is direct but patient. He is genuinely curious, and he has a prosecutor's instinct for the follow-up question that cuts through spin. Bonus episodes with co-host Joyce Vance add another perspective, especially on matters related to federal law enforcement and constitutional authority. What really works here is Bharara's ability to translate his institutional knowledge into plain language. When he explains how a federal investigation actually unfolds or why a particular DOJ decision matters, you are getting insight from someone who lived it. He does not shy away from taking positions, but he is transparent about when he is offering opinion versus analysis. The show covers executive power, immigration law, criminal justice reform, and the occasional deep-cut procedural question that only a former prosecutor would think to raise. It is the kind of podcast that makes you feel genuinely smarter about the legal system after each episode.
