Hodges legal team, which was the U.S. Supreme Court case that led to the nationwide legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015. In today's episode, we get into some great conversations about what a family and parenting looks like in America today, as well as the impact of courts decisions regarding family and parenting beyond the LGBTQ space and the ways in which many of these related cases help to shape the country's evolving definition of what a parent truly is.

  Big Tech's Antitrust Endgame with Professor John Newman

  Sep 18, 20251 hourS3

  For years, the U.S. government has tried to police antitrust and monopoly issues in the technology industry with varying degrees of success. Several recent rulings have pushed the topic back into the spotlight, with a landmark ruling in a case against Google garnering headlines across the country, though many experts say Google is still winning in the long-term game of monopoly. Additionally, Epic Games (maker of the popular Fortnite game) took on Apple in a long-running antitrust case, with the decision and remedies potentially changing how online commerce and transactions are carried out across the board. Antitrust expert University of Memphis School of Law Herbert Herff Chair of Excellence, Professor John Newman, joins the podcast to go in-depth about these cases and more. He goes into the cultural relevance of these antitrust cases, what they mean to us as consumers, and how they could potentially change the way Big Tech operates in our daily lives.
