If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to live behind bars, any episode of “Ear Hustle” will give you a pretty good idea.

It’s basically “This American Life” but for the 2 million Americans who are incarcerated — and primarily produced by insiders. “Ear Hustle” hosts and co-founders Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods join us to talk about what they’ve learned in 15 seasons of podcasting from prison. They’re also highlighting their live show coming to Nashville next week!

Plus, we end the hour with the Choosing Justice Initiative (CJI), an org seeking justice in Nashville’s criminal legal system

Guests:

  • Nigel Poor, host and co-founder, Ear Hustle
  • Earlonne Woods, host and co-founder, Ear Hustle
  • Erica Duggan, Director of Education and Holistic Advocacy, Choosing Justice Initiative
  • Musa, Court watcher, Choosing Justice Initiative
