Mic Dicta is an American podcast on law and current events. Hosted by attorney Charles Star and sometimes co-hosted by an anonymous person using the nickname "The Hell Dude", the show featured a rotating panel of attorney contributors who were mostly credited under pseudonyms. Dubbing itself "America's Best-Named Legal Podcast", the show's title is a pun on "Mike Ditka", "mic", and "dicta".
Vice publishes a column on the American legal system written by the podcast's contributors.[1] Mic Dicta hosts have also been published at Deadspin[2] and The Outline.[3]
On September 30, 2018, Star announced on Twitter that Mic Dicta had ended.[4]
Reception and legacy[edit]
At XFDR, Carter Moon named Mic Dicta the publication's "Podcast of the Week".[5] Praising the sophistication of the show's content, Moon said "it doesn't feel dumbed down for the benefit of the lay-listener" and said the show positions the listener "as a fly on the wall for a bunch of legal nerds speaking as they would if they were hanging out at a bar."[5] Moon also noted the show's "consistently sardonic, ballbusting approach that keeps things entertaining without losing the listener in the weeds."[5] Moon recommended Episode 11 as a starting point for new listeners, highlighting its discussion of the litigation surrounding Verrückt, a water slide at Schlitterbahn Kansas City that was considered the world's tallest and which was closed following a decapitation death.[5]
TheWrap included Mic Dicta in a March 2018 list of podcast recommendations.[6] Mic Dicta was also referenced in SCOTUSblog, an eminent American law blog about the Supreme Court of the United States, where it was recommended for its discussion of Janus v. AFSCME.[7]
"The Helldude" now co-hosts a similar law-themed podcast named ALAB with fellow Twitter personalities @wyatt_privilege (Andy), @_FleerUltra (Michael) @GarlicCorgi (Tim) and @arguendope (Julius).[8] Charles hosts a podcast named Hostile Witness,[9] with Twitter personalities @ericmichel (Eric), @veryimportant (Patrick) and @randbrick (Randolph). @The_Law_Boy (Peter) hosts the podcast 5-4 along with Mic Dicta's @_FleerUltra (Michael) and @AywaRhiannon (Rhiannon).[10]
