Our take on Ear Hustle podcast

Ear Hustle, hosted by Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods, offers a biweekly 40-minute glimpse into the lives of those within San Quentin State Prison. Since its 2017 debut, it's not just a podcast but a cultural touchstone, earning a Pulitzer Prize nomination and a duPont-Columbia Award. The hosts' authenticity and the show's raw storytelling have even influenced the arts, like the Met's Songs from the Spirit. Their book, This Is Ear Hustle, further extends their impact. It's a powerful listen that connects deeply, breaking down barriers and changing perceptions about incarceration and life after. Ear Hustle is a documentary podcast by Ear Hustle & Radiotopia.
