In this episode of Tech Nest, Jeremy Gall, Co-founder and CEO of Breezeway, joins us to discuss short-term rentals. Jeremy kicks us off with detailing what owners need to know in order to operate a successful vacation rental. I had to get Jeremy to comment on topics such as if there's going to be an Airbnb crash and flood of residential properties hitting the for sale market (hint: neither of us believe that's likely to happen). Of course, we get into the nitty-gritty as to how Breezeway is creating a web-based software for vacation rental managers to be more successful in their operations, need for integrations (such as Breezeway's latest with Airbnb), and future potentials of AI in the STR and hospitality industry. This one is a doozie—listen in!

In this episode, Professor Mike Vitiello, Distinguished Professor of Law at McGeorge School of Law,  discusses his new book, The Victims' Rights Movement: What It Gets Right and What It Gets Wrong. In our fascinating discussion, Professor Vitiello explores some of the consequences of the victim's rights movement, including excessive punishment, exacerbated racial inequality, and false promises of “closure” to crime victims and their families.

About our guest:  Distinguished Professor of Law Michael Vitiello is a nationally-recognized expert on criminal law, sentencing policy, and marijuana law. His work on California's three-strikes law has been cited by the United States Supreme Court and the California Supreme Court. Since 2002, he has been a member of the American Law Institute, a prestigious independent organization committed to improving and modernizing law whose highly selective membership is comprised of the best legal minds in the country. Professor Vitiello is the author of 13 books and over 80 law review articles. In 2019, he and two co-authors from the University of Michigan published Cases and Material on Marijuana Law (West Academic Publishing 2019). One of his most recent book, Animating Civil Procedure, focuses on how the right wing of the Supreme Court has used procedural decisions to close the courthouse door on many prospective plaintiffs, thereby favoring corporate and other powerful interests over injured plaintiffs. His numerous articles on legalizing marijuana take a careful policy-oriented approach to that area of the law, insisting that, because legalization will occur, policy makers need to craft legislation to avoid undue social harm. His articles critical of California’s Three Strikes have been widely cited, including by two Supreme Court Justices in Ewing v. California.

Prior to entering the legal academy in 1977, Professor Vitiello served as a law clerk to a Pennsylvania appellate court judge for three years. Thereafter, he received tenure at Loyola Law School in New Orleans, before visiting at Tulane Law School and the University of Mississippi Law School. He joined the McGeorge faculty in 1990. During his career, he has taught over fifteen different courses, with a special emphasis on Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Civil Procedure, and Marijuana Law. He has also created courses in a variety of comparative law areas, most notably using the Amanda Knox case to compare the Italian and American criminal justice systems, and has taught in international programs run by McGeorge in London and Salzburg. In 2007, he received a Fulbright Senior Specialist grant and taught at the University of Parma. During the spring of 2016, he taught a course at the University of Salzburg on "Why European clients want to avoid suit in US courts and how to avoid suit there." In the spring of 2017, he taught a seminar on marijuana and the law and from March through June of 2017, he taught a course on "Recent Developments in American Criminal Law" at the University of Parma.

In 45+ years of teaching, he shows no signs of slowing down. Several years ago, he became the senior editor for a series of simulation books published by West Academic. That series, "The Bridge to Practice," allows professors to integrate skills training into traditional classrooms. He has published three books in that series, which he uses in his three main courses. He also organized several symposia for the McGeorge community, including symposia on legalizing marijuana, sex offenses, sentencing reform, and the Warren Court. Vitiello became the Associate Dean for Scholarship in 2023. 

Stefan Lassnig spricht mit dem Verleger und Medienexperten Sebastian Loudon über die österreichische Medienpolitik. Diese müsse mehr sein, als dass sich Politiker:innen beschweren, wenn sie in den Medien nicht gut wegkommen, hatte der damalige Kanzleramtsminister Gernot Blümel noch im Juni 2018 anlässlich der von Loudon mitveranstalteten "Medienenquete" gemeint. Aber was ist von dieser Veranstaltung eigentlich geblieben? Und was ist in den letzten 20 Jahren medienpolitisch weitergegangen? 

In dieser Episode analysieren Sebastian Loudon und Host Stefan Lassnig gemeinsam die wesentlichen Player am Medienmarkt: Wer sind sie und welche Ziele verfolgen sie? Und was wollen eigentlich Politiker:innen von den Medien? Wie funktioniert das Zusammenspiel zwischen privaten Medienunternehmen, dem ORF und der Politik?

Auch die fundamentalen Veränderungen, die die Digitalisierung am Werbe- und am Lesermarkt mit sich bringt, sind ein Thema in dieser Folge. 

Gegen Ende dieser Episode gehen Loudon und Lassnig noch auf aktuelle Themen wie die Veränderungen bei der Wiener Zeitung und die geplanten Einschränkungen bei orf.at ein.
