LSAT Logic in Everyday Life

When it was regularly updated, this podcast was one of my favorites. Hosted by Andrew Brody of the Princeton Review, this podcast examines media coverage of politics, health & entertainment news, and other current events. The focus here is on errors in reasoning that are frequently encountered on the LSAT. These errors, of course, also abound on the GMAT!

Sometimes classroom examples of flawed logic can seem sterile or oversimplified. Listening to real people making real decisions on the basis of flawed arguments can be eye-opening. Who knew how often correlation was confused with causation!

This podcast hasn't been updated in almost a year, and that's a shame. Fortunately, their full back catalog is still available. Each episode runs about ten minutes long, typically summarizing a single current event and critiquing common arguments in favor of or against certain decisions made by governments, organizations, celebrities,  opinion columnists, etc.


This podcast is run through the Princeton Review as a supplement to their LSAT prep classes. Technically they're a competitor, sure, but credit where credit is due: this is one offering that I think can be very useful...and it's free! Keep in mind that some of the topics covered may be a bit contentious; always remember when studying argument that it is the reasoning
behind opinions and arguments that is being criticized, and not necessarily the conclusions themselves.
