Felicity starts off her first co-hosting duties by claiming that she'd be going to class if it weren't for the pandemic; Richard is thankful she's not starting off in Adam's shoes. The guest this episode is Rachael Glassman, 3L student who before law school, worked for 10 years in the film and TV industry.

Rachael describes how her experience scheduling TV shows helped at the very beginning of law school because she organized her entire Section's schedule on Google calendar - Felicity, who was in Rachael's section, loved Rachael's maternal instincts, she "cared". Rachael found that there was a big transition to go to law school after spending time working professionally. Rachael's one big concern entering law school was that she had forgotten how to study and write exams. This was particularly true in her case because in film studies there were no exams. Richard, trying to find out more about his new co-host, since he didn't know what Felicity did before law school, finds out she did what she calls a useless master's degree in physiotherapy.

Rachael had friends who were lawyers, so she was able to meet some alumni before attending and got good advice. She has tried to shape her career based on some of that early advice. In fact, her former boss was a former student of Richard's, who also went from TV/film to law school, then back to TV where he now negotiates contracts to purchase TV shows. Felicity wonders if it was easier for Rachael to choose a law school that is in the same town she worked. Rachael says she chose Osgoode because her own support system was here. The three discuss whether that would make the transition easier or not, because sometimes it can be good to completely uproot and move to somewhere new.

Rachael mentions a Rolodex at the end of the podcast. Richard isn't even sure she or Felicity know what they are, but he remembers having one when he first got out of law school.
