Why Your Microphone Beats Your Billboard: Bob Byrne’s Honest Take on Podcasting

Most attorneys who say they want to start a podcast never do. Most who do start one quit before it matters. Bob Byrne is neither. Bob is the president and managing shareholder at Martin Wren in Charlottesville, Virginia, with more than 20 years handling catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases. He is the only attorney in Virginia and one of roughly 100 in the entire country to hold a board certification in truck accident law from the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, a credential that requires years of verified experience, a written examination, peer references from opposing counsel, and judicial endorsements. A few years ago, Bob and his wife Lauren, a trial attorney and his co-counsel at Martin Wren, launched Trials of a Lawyer, a podcast built around the actual craft of trying cases. Two attorneys who try cases together and raise a house full of kids together, talking shop without a sales pitch attached. This conversation is not about whether podcasting is a good idea. Rob and Bob get into what it actually costs in time and commitment, who is and is not well suited to do it, how to navigate bar rules without neutering your content, what equipment actually matters, and what Bob has seen come back to him professionally since starting the show. Including cases, speaking invitations, and attorneys from across the country who recognized him at conferences before he knew who they were. If you are a firm owner who keeps telling yourself you need to start creating content, this is the honest read you have been looking for.
