Hey I’m Aja. And this is The Fine Print Playbook.

There’s always more to the story than the headline. A trade nobody questioned. A contract nobody read. A legal case everyone missed. This is the show that asks what most people don’t and connect the courtroom, the court, and the culture.

Episode 1 drops April 16. Follows so you never miss the fine print.
