About Michael Zeldin
For more than a generation, Michael Zeldin has helped audiences make sense of some of the most consequential legal and political stories of our time.
Since 1996, he has served as a television legal analyst, covering events including the O.J. Simpson trial, the Clinton impeachment, and the Mueller investigation.
His work is guided by a simple principle: make complex legal questions understandable, and show how they shape real people, institutions, and democracy itself.
That Said with Michael Zeldin brings together Michael’s experience as a legal analyst, educator, and lifelong reader. The podcast features in-depth conversations with bestselling non-fiction authors, journalists, and thought leaders, exploring not only their work but the broader questions it raises for law, politics, and society.
Presented in partnership with CommPRO and the Museum of Public Relations, the podcast is designed as a space for thoughtful, civil dialogue in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
