Radiotopia from PRX.

I'm excited to tell you that one of our favorite Radotopia siblings, Ear Hustle, is back with a new season.

Ear Hustle is a show about life inside prison, but it's not your typical prison podcast.

Co-host Nigel Poor and Erlon Woods have recently been spending time at four California prisons

and have a season's worth of funny, surprising, and unforgettable stories to share.

In a recent episode, they were able to visit a groundbreaking prison hospice

where they spoke to men who are grappling with the reality of dying inside prison.

Also coming up this season are stories about the objects people keep inside their prison cells.

Complicated mom-daughter relationships in prison and incarcerated people

who wonder whether they've become too comfortable behind bars.

Stories about life on the inside, told by those who live it.

Find ear hustle wherever you get your podcasts.

Now, I assumed it was a one-night-only event.
