Ear Hustle

This week, a conversation with two of the creators of Ear Hustle, the first podcast created and produced in prison. The show features stories of the daily realities of life inside California’s San Quentin State Prison, shared by those living it. Ear Hustle was launched in 2017; at the time, Earlonne Woods was an inmate at San Quentin. His sentence was commuted in 2020.  Now, Woods co-hosts the podcast from outside the prison walls, along with Nigel Poor, a well-respected photographer whose work teaching inside prison changed the focus of her practice.  Today, Poor spends the majority of her time focused on, and working alongside, the incarcerated. On November 19, 2020, Earlonne Woods and Nigel Poor.spoke with Alexis Madrigal about the making of the latest season of Ear Hustle.
