Hey listeners, we are cooking up something really fun for next season and we need your help.

You might remember that for the last couple seasons, Erlon and I have been producing mystery episodes.

That's when me and I each come up with a story idea and we work on it in secret until we reveal it to each other in the studio when we're recording narration.

And I love doing these. It's so much fun to surprise each other, and it gives us the opportunity

to each explore subject that entreats us. This season, we're adding a twist, and that's where

you come in. Is there a story you've always wanted to hear on Ear Hustle, a topic you wished

one of us would explore. Well, here's your

chance to shape an upcoming episode. All you got to do is email us an idea. It can be something

really specific like you want to hear a story about someone who had to lose a lot of weight in prison.

Or it can be more abstract. Like, what do people think about when they first wake up in prison, maybe even on their

first day in prison?

And remember, it's a story idea for Erlon and a story idea for me.

So two different ideas.

If your idea is selected, you will be invited to join us via Zoom and be the third host when we record narration

in the studio. This is going to be great and it's also going to give us a chance to do something

really meaningful with our listeners. So send your idea to info at earhustlesq.com and the deadline is January 15.

That's info at earhustleSQ.com by January 15th.

And I cannot wait to find out what my story idea is going to be.

I know what I'm going to get.

No, you don't.

It's going to be gang-related work.

Shh, no hands.
