Ear Hustle: Everyday Stories About Life in Prison
A raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison.
Ear Hustle is prison slang for eavesdropping, and that鈥檚 what listening to the show feels like: a raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison.
Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne鈥檚 release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the California Institution for Women, as well as stories about getting out of prison and starting over, post-incarceration.
From finding romance, to grappling with a life sentence, to trying to parent via 15-minute phone calls, Ear Hustle stories deliver what This American Life host Ira Glass calls a "very real鈥� and 鈥渦ntragic鈥� take on prison life.
