Notes from The Listener:

Rebroadcast of a conversation from 2017 with the late US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It covers her career prior to coming to prominence as the second woman ever to be appointed to the Court, but the really arresting portions of this recording deal with her relationships with her fellow judges. In particular, her views on sharing the bench with conservative colleagues Antonin Scalia and Neil Gorsuch are fascinating — despite their divergent ideologies, she was close personal friends with the former

The late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second female justice confirmed to the US Supreme Court, told an Aspen Institute crowd in 2017 that her experiences as a woman gave her a unique perspective on the Court. She talked about her relationships with Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and the late Antonin Scalia. She also explained what it was like to work with newly-elected Justice Neil Gorsuch. Her discussion with Elliot Gerson, an executive vice president at the Aspen Institute, also touched on her book My Own Words. This podcast originally dropped in June of 2017.
