Nigel amd Earlonne give some background and insight into their hit podcast. This definitely reaffirmed for me how effed up the legal/prison system is - that Three-strikes law is ridiculous.

I've been meaning to start listening to Ear Hustle, the podcast, which was recommended to me in 2019. I hadn't gotten around to it, but this audiobook was available at the library so I just decided to go for it. This was a perfect introduction to Ear Hustle! As a social worker and law student, I think this book/podcast have provided a NECESSARY perspective in both fields. I am very glad I ended up reading this!

I picked up Ear Hustle because it was a topic I knew nothing about- everyday prison life. Told through a series of podcasts hosted by Poor and Earlonne Woods, who was serving time in San Quentin. The stories did not shy away from what it is like to be incarcerated while touching on systems that are filling Americans prisons. I did find some of the transitions to be a bit choppy and sometimes found myself needing to go back and check the timeline. I found Ear Hustle engaging and the format made it easy to access.
