Season 2 of "Outside Counsel," hosted by Jeffrey B. Simon, is here to illuminate the urgent issues affecting consumer rights and environmental protection in America today. As powerful industries harm consumers and the environment, while simultaneously sabotaging the justice system that exists to hold corporate wrongdoers accountable, almost every American is adversely affected.

This season, we delve into the sources and consequences of human-made climate change in "Our Scorched Planet" with New York Times Best-Selling Author Jeff Goodell, and we update an incredible personal journey, "From Loss to Legacy", with Christy Couvillier. Our audience will be shocked but grateful to learn about the pervasive dangers of forced arbitration, as well as dismayed, and then invigorated by the battle of Robert 'Skeeter' Salim against an insurance company that denied coverage for his life-saving cancer treatments.

Be sure to catch up on Season 1. Now available wherever you get your podcasts.
