Rigney Law Relaunches 'Tales from the Brown Desk' Podcast for Season 2

Rigney Law LLC, an Indianapolis criminal defense and OWI firm, has revived its criminal law podcast, Tales from the Brown Desk, for a second season after a nearly six-year hiatus. Hosted by attorneys Jake and Kassi Rigney and produced by Teri Muehlhausen, the show returned in August 2026 and now releases new episodes every other week. The podcast originally launched in 2020 and produced 26 episodes covering topics like drug possession in Indiana, theft, burglary and robbery, and the role of a criminal defense attorney. The relaunch maintains the unscripted, candid conversation format between two working defense lawyers, complete with an explicit content advisory as they speak plainly about the criminal justice system.

Season two focuses heavily on current Indiana law. The premiere breaks down a fresh 2026 decision from the Indiana Court of Appeals. The second episode examines Indiana v. Manges, a Hendricks County case in which the appellate court pushed back after a trial judge removed the victim from the witness stand, along with a look at Flock license plate cameras. Episode three covers a new Indiana ruling upholding the conviction of a man who told jail staff he was carrying pepper spray, plus conversations about Marion County judges, ICE, and Glock switches. Every episode concludes with the show's long-running Florida Man segment. The podcast is designed for anyone seeking a clearer view of how criminal cases move through Indiana courts, offering a working defense attorney's perspective on new appellate decisions, local courtroom practices, and emerging issues such as license plate surveillance and immigration enforcement. Episodes run roughly 30 minutes to an hour, making them easy to fit into a commute or workout. For people facing charges or supporting someone who is, the podcast also provides a chance to get to know the attorneys at Rigney Law LLC before ever picking up the phone. Tales from the Brown Desk is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and Buzzsprout, as well as on the firm's website at rigneylawindy.com/podcast.
