Have you missed us? We have certainly missed you!
We just couldn't resist bringing the #fabfour back together for a third series, and what a series it is already shaping up to be. Join us for this short teaser pod as we hint at what is to come and introduce a new regular segment. It wouldn't be the WP Pod without a good few laughs along the way - so settle in and put the kettle on, or if you prefer pour yourself a glass of something stronger!

Have you missed us?? Well this one is certainly worth the wait. We have stretched the budget and this weeks episode has not one but two guests. And what guests they are! Anyone in family law will know the famous and infamous Steve McCrone of 1 Hare Court and James Shortall of 29 Bedford Row. Undoubtedly two of the best clerks in the business.
With a good few years clerking under their belts Steve and James offer not just an unparalleled insight into the changes in the profession but also a limitless supply of hilarious stories from the clerks room and a networking night out or two.
So hit download, sit back and enjoy! And remember, it's all Without Prejudice.

We have been dying to release this episode for a while now, so here it is! Commissioned by Resolution as part of YRes Skills Month we talk to the oracle that is Gillian Bishop about all things supervision and support. This is a must listen for junior practitioners thinking about how they can best manage the emotional stresses and strains that inevitably occur in everyday practice. Oh - and we promise a few laughs along the way too!

We are back with another fun filled episode. It's just the fab four this week (unfortunately Peter was busy) but we hope you will be just as entertained. Our lockdown quiz challenge continues with Marc as host and we play 'most likely to'. As ever you can expect a light smattering of law related commentary washed down with a few pints of Guinness/G&T/insert beer here! Stay safe everyone.

We are so thrilled that the one and only Peter Andre took time out of his busy schedule to join us for this extra special pod recording. Expect the usual banter and blunders whilst also learning a few things from Peter. We talk about everything from home schooling, to an awkward concert in Kazakhstan, the perils of wearing jeans in a waterfall and something called a 'Flaming Lamborghini'.
"Baby girl, I said tonight is your lucky night", so settle in and enjoy listening to this episode which is definitely one of our all time faves! As ever, please download, like, share and subscribe. Finally our thanks again to Peter, a true gent and all around top bloke.

A New Year and a new episode! We kick off 2021 with a bang discussing the dreaded lockdown 3.0 and our New Year's resolutions. There is also a return of our themed lockdown quiz feature and of course 'Sipping with Sean'. We end this episode with one of the crew receiving a very special Christmas gift!
We hope you enjoy this episode as a way of fighting off those January blues.

Did you miss us? We missed you! Due to us all being hot shot super busy lawyers, coupled with our technical ineptitude, it has taken us a few weeks to get this episode together, but we think it will be worth the wait. We give our reactions to the Family Law Awards, introduce a new game for series 2 and generally catch up with our usual sprinkling of hilarity. So grab a mulled wine and listen along with us. Thanks, #thefabfour

So join us over a glass or three, or even just whilst doing the washing up. As ever, we would love to hear from you all, so drop us a line, its been ages!

It's the season 1 finale, and as the name suggests, we recorded this extra special episode back in the pub! So please join us, the family law fab four, for our usual boozy bromantic banter as we reflect on our season 1 highlights and enjoy a surprise jingle. We also give some teasers of our plans for season 2 including a 'pod on tour'.
Thanks again to everyone who has liked, shared and subscribed so far and to our guests from season 1, Danny Chapman, Laura Naser and Jodie Hill.
See you all soon for season 2!
