I like to watch pod casts by lawyers that cover current criminal cases. One of the fascinating things would be the comments and questions from the viewing audience. "True crime" shows have large audiences today, made up of average citizens with an interest in the law enforcement and court systems. The public asks good questions -- valid questions -- that lawyers respond to. That is important, because it provides public education. More importantly, I think, is that from audience comments, we often see that people believe things that just ain't so. The lawyers attempt to teach the correct answers.

It would seem to me that the public would benefit from similar educational experiences in every area government functions in.
