Season 7, Episode 13: Inside mock trial preparation

Ian Chen, Jocelyn Yuan, Shelby Roth, Rihanna Pabai, and Nika Hann

March 28, 2025

Valerie Wang

The TidePod, which was started in early 2019, is currently in its eighth season. Graphic designed by Valerie Wang.

In this episode of the TidePod, we spoke with Mr. Taylor and mock trial team members about their current season. The team is split into two groups, defense and prosecution. The two sides alternate competitions as they argue the two sides. The team finished their regular season and is now transitioning to the playoffs. After winning the state championship in 2023, the team looks to make a deep run in their playoff competition to return to the top of the state.
You can listen to this episode of the TidePod here. For more episodes, check out the TidePod on Spotify and Buzzsprout.
