NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
today announced "Debate Dershowitz," a new limited run six-episode
series with famed attorney Alan M.
Dershowitz, is launching Sunday,
September 21st at 10:00 am –
Noon ET on SiriusXM's Indie Channel
102. The program will feature the Author, Libertarian, Activist and
Harvard Law professor covering a broad spectrum of topics with an
emphasis on domestic and international politics.
Listeners can expect an open, free-wheeling style on the show as
Dershowitz enjoys the Socratic method of arguing - the way he
conducted his classes at Harvard Law. Each week he will have
friends, journalists, politicians and newsmakers in studio and he
will take calls from listeners.
"We are excited to welcome Alan back to radio and offer him the
platform to discuss a wide range of topics with anyone up for the
challenge of a smart, vigorous debate," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief
Content Officer.
This marks a return to radio for Dershowitz, having hosted the
nationally syndicated "Dershowitz!" talk radio show while
practicing law and teaching at Harvard.
He's just released a new e-book, Terror Tunnels: The Case for
Israel's Just War Against Hamas,
that provides an essential primer on the recent conflict between
Israel and Hamas in
Gaza.
Professor Alan M. Dershowitz is a
Brooklyn native who has been
called "the nation's most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer" and
one of its "most distinguished defenders of individual rights,"
"the best-known criminal lawyer in the world," "the top lawyer of
last resort," "America's most public Jewish defender" and
"Israel's single most visible
defender – the Jewish state's lead attorney in the court of public
opinion." He is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law Emeritus at
Harvard Law School. Dershowitz, a graduate of Brooklyn College and Yale Law School, joined the
Harvard Law School faculty at age 25 after clerking for Judge
David Bazelon and Justice
Arthur Goldberg. He has also
published more than 1000 articles in magazines, newspapers,
journals and blogs such as The New York Times
Magazine, The Washington Post, The Wall
Street Journal, The Harvard Law Review,
the Yale Law Journal, Huffington
Post, Newsmax, Jerusalem
Post and Ha'aretz. Professor Dershowitz is the
author of 31 fiction and non-fiction works with a worldwide
audience, including The New York
Times #1 bestseller Chutzpah and five other
national bestsellers. His autobiography, Taking the Stand:
My Life in the Law, was
published in October.
