Agree that this isn't as surprising or impactful as others are reporting and strongly second your audio recommendations.

For the oral arguments, check out Oyez (https://www.oyez.org). I like it much better because it:

* has argument audio from cases going back 50+ years (as compared to 8 yrs on scotus.gov), so you can listen to big cases from before 2010 (e.g. Citizens United), and when modern cases draw heavily on prior decisions, you can go back and listen to the reasoning in the previous case (e.g. Vieth for Gill/Benisek, Bakke for Fisher).

* has the audio synced to the court transcript, which helps identify voices and follow when there's poor audio quality.

* has audio of opinion announcements when they're given (so you know the outcome and reasoning of the decision without looking it up)

* lets you sort by popularity, which makes it easier to find the cases that are important and interesting rather than merely politically charged.
