The Class Action Weekly Wire

The Duane Morris Class Action Defense Blog presents the Class Action Weekly Wire podcast: Due to the growth of class action litigation over the past decade, counsel for defendants and plaintiffs alike have become more sophisticated, the statutory authority and case law precedents have continued to evolve, and parties on both sides have expanded their arsenal of tools to pursue and to defend these cases. As a result, class action litigation entails ever-changing guideposts, new playbooks, and innovation. Our show delivers weekly episodes featuring insights and analysis of the latest class action cases and trends with some of the nation’s most experienced attorneys in defending class action litigation. Guest speakers share their expertise on case law, significant settlements, and developing trends in all areas of class action litigation, including artificial intelligence, antitrust, arbitration, biometric privacy, consumer fraud, cybersecurity, wage & hour, privacy, product liability & mass tort, and EEOC strategy and litigation.

    Wisecrack

    He left home as the chubby kid with a dream, a decade later, he's a touring comic with a killer set. Literally. In Wisecrack, stand-up comedian Edd Hedges returns to his hometown for a charity gig, only to find himself headlining the most terrifying night of his life. The warm welcome quickly unravels into a chilling true crime tale of a downward spiral and a town shaken by murder. When TV crime producer Jodi Tovay stumbled across Edd’s comedy set, it did more than get a few laughs, it opened the door to a years-long investigation she never saw coming. Part comedy special, part true crime thriller, Wisecrack blends punchlines with plot twists in a genre-defying ride where the laughs are real and the danger is no joke.
