Judge John Hodgman is a weekly, comedic court show podcast hosted by John Hodgman and Jesse Thorn. The show is distributed online by Maximum Fun. The program features host John Hodgman acting as a judge (with Jesse Thorn as Bailiff) adjudicating real-life disputes within a fictional courtroom setting. The cases answer questions like, “Should the kitchen sink’s built-in dispenser be filled with dish soap or hand soap?” and “Can you stop family members from using your childhood nickname?”
