🦠 There's a coronavirus pandemic on. We aren't allowed to have fun anymore; but in lieu of fun, you can grab a beverage of your choice and come hang out with us, your hosts Ben Wittes and Kate Klonick, every day at 5:00pm US Eastern time.

In Lieu of Fun is a casual, unstructured webcast that has been broadcasting daily since March 25, 2020. We talk about news, law, life, art, squirrels, murder hornets, Baby Cannons, and whatever else may come up. On most weekdays there are pre-announced guests, while Saturdays are just Ben & Kate planning the upcoming week. Sundays usually include an unannounced Mystery Guest.

Episodes are streamed live on Crowdcast, YouTube, and a variety of other streaming platforms. You can find links to recordings of past episodes from the Episode Log.
