Two months between episodes?  Looks like someone will be buying Steve a dinner at the conclusion of 2023 (barring a pivot to posting new episodes every day).

2. The United States and Iran: a review of key domestic law issues
3. Trumplandia: checking in on, like, 17 separate cases currently underway
