Episode one, covering four Northeastern states, the second episode, analyzing five Midwestern states, and the third show, examining five Southwestern states, are now streaming; the fifth episode, focusing on several western states, will stream soon.

Do You Care About Justice?
Attorney/author Mark M. Bello and writer/commentator Bob Gatty co-host Justice Counts, a podcast that goes beyond the law to what matters to people, what's fair, what's right, what's justice.
"If you look up "justice" in the dictionary," Mark says, "you'll find something like 'just or fair behavior or treatment.' So justice is not just a legal term, it's a broader term and in a broader sense, it's giving people what they deserve."
Our guests are those skilled in the law as well as people who seek justice, in one of its many forms in our daily lives. The episodes are filled with insight, info, and no small amount of humor.
Episodes stream bi-weekly every other Monday on all major podcast platforms.
