Over the last few years, we’ve seen the appearance of quite a few legal podcasts: Legal Current, Thinking Like a Lawyer, and Happy Lawyer, Happy Life, to name a few. With the rise of legal podcasts in mainstream media, we decided to have a chat with the host of Debrief, Nigel Poole QC, and talk about how starting a podcast is helping Kings Chambers.
Debrief: A Kings Chambers Podcast
Debrief was created by the medical negligence team at Kings Chambers, a leading barristers chambers in the UK. They decided to create a podcast because traditional methods of marketing for barristers just seemed very outdated in today's tech-savvy environment. Debrief was designed to give “lawyers and non-lawyers alike” an insight into what’s going on in the field, without the complicated lawyer mumbo-jumbo!

Traditional ways of marketing for barristers is either going through solicitors offices, giving a presentation, or by writing articles. It seemed to us that podcasts had an advantage over all that!
