I’m Stephanie Ponzaneli, a recent law grad, and each week I chat with law graduates about the twists, turns, and real-life experiences that led them to the law. From surviving law school and tackling the bar exam to figuring out what comes after graduation, we dive into the challenges, lessons, and unexpected turns along the way. There’s no single path to becoming a lawyer and that’s exactly what makes each journey so unique. Through honest conversations and real stories, Legally Ponzaneli celebrates the many ways people make their mark in the legal profession.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-12T20:20:45.009864+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/legally-ponzaneli-7758293"},"episode":{"title":"Alfonso: It’s Never Too Late to Go to Law School","slug":"alfonso-it-s-never-too-late-to-go-to-law-school","published_at":"2026-08-27T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/legally-ponzaneli-7758293/alfonso-it-s-never-too-late-to-go-to-law-school","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/legally-ponzaneli-7758293","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/638f4102ceed0763311aa553d26ae422e31c8335100674322ac5821d5dfee7df/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIwYWNmYWU4Yi1hOTQyLTQzYTYtYTgwMC1iOWU4NmU4NDdkMWYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI1NGQ5MWIzNC01NDQzLTQ5MGUtYTBlZS04MTE0NDIwODgwODQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWEzYzJhMzI3MTdiYWIxOTRmNWJjOTUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE4ZjQwNzNhZjQwN2UwZTA4YzZjYTRkL3N0ZXBoYW5pZS1wb256YW5lbGlzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTgtMjZfXzIxLTM3LTIzLm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/638f4102ceed0763311aa553d26ae422e31c8335100674322ac5821d5dfee7df/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIwYWNmYWU4Yi1hOTQyLTQzYTYtYTgwMC1iOWU4NmU4NDdkMWYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI1NGQ5MWIzNC01NDQzLTQ5MGUtYTBlZS04MTE0NDIwODgwODQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWEzYzJhMzI3MTdiYWIxOTRmNWJjOTUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE4ZjQwNzNhZjQwN2UwZTA4YzZjYTRkL3N0ZXBoYW5pZS1wb256YW5lbGlzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTgtMjZfXzIxLTM3LTIzLm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Alfonso shares his journey from serving in the Marines and working full-time to pursuing his dream of becoming an attorney.
