A new show for federal employees — premiering Juneteenth, ad-free, two attorneys in your corner.
Hey Feds,
I wanted to make sure this didn't slip past you.
This Friday — Juneteenth, June 19 — my law partner Lydia Taylor and I are launching a podcast built for one audience: federal employees. It's called Civil Rights for Civil Servants, and it's the show I wish had existed for the people we've represented over the last 15 years.
Here's the honest reason I'm writing. The last year and a half has been brutal for the federal workforce — hiring freezes, deferred resignations, probationary firings, RIFs. Too many feds have had to figure out their rights alone, in real time, under pressure. This show is our answer to that. Calm, factual, and practical — no spin, no fearmongering.
If you follow us on social, you know our videos run two or three minutes — enough to flag what's happening, rarely enough to really explain it. The podcast is where we finally get room to go deep: walk through a strategy start to finish, take the time a real case deserves, and answer the questions a 60-second clip never could.
Every other week, you'll get four things:
The Docket — the federal workforce news people are actually talking about, in plain English, and what it means for you.
The Case File — one legal strategy per episode: the steps, the deadlines, and the protections you need to know before you need them.
Guests Worth Hearing From — people with something real to say about the federal workforce.
Ask Shaun and Lydia Anything — your questions, answered on the show. (Send them to [email protected] anytime.)
The show is proudly ad-free, sponsored entirely by our firm. No gimmicks — just two attorneys who represent federal employees, and only federal employees, in your corner.
One favor: subscribing now matters more than it might seem. The more feds who follow and share, the better the guests we can bring you — and the more good this show can do. So if your service is worth protecting, help us build something worth listening to.
