Ear Hustle is prison slang for eavesdropping, and that’s what listening to the show feels like: a raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison.
Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne’s release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the California Institution for Women, as well as stories about getting out of prison and starting over, post-incarceration.
From finding romance, to grappling with a life sentence, to trying to parent via 15-minute phone calls, Ear Hustle stories deliver what This American Life host Ira Glass calls a “"very real” and “untragic” take on prison life.

Quite interesting to hear the incarcerated population's perspectives on the election- a range of viewpoints, some surprising!
Nigel is aware that the word is "progressive" not "puhgressive", right? that ad drives me up the wall because of that lol
I absolutely love 'Ear Hustle'! The way it sheds light on life inside prison and tells stories from a perspective we rarely hear is both eye-opening and moving. The authenticity and empathy in each episode really make you feel connected to the experiences of the people featured. https://castbox.fm/episode/Eco-Friendly-Custom-Packaging-Solutions-id6235918-id723022267?country=us
Feel like the show has been slipping a bit tbh, now we got basically recycled episodes
I just finished listening to the latest Catch a Kite episode and my mind went to the Mental Health of the inmates. Do inmates have mentors ( within the inmavte population)they can talk with without reprisals. As well does the correctional system step up in ways that are really helpful and meaningful? I apologize for this conversation as the episode was so good and joyful much laughter entailed. As a person who has dealt with her own mental health throughout her life(71yrs young) and a long time listener I am curious
The fact that one of the women was just covered in a blanket. the extreme vulnerability and imbalance of power in that situation is just sickening. trust me if he had been able to continue to get away with what he was doing he'd still be doing it. remorse came only after prison. trust and believe.
This dude Edwardo is the worst. The ego and temeritity to go be a preacher. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. I hope someone in there made his anus a plaything so he truly understands intimately what he put women through.
yall quit?
52 inmates die in the last month and a half in Texas prisons !!!! https://youtube.com/watch?v=C6I7eZ8ogZ8&feature=share8 over 140 degrees inside one prison WTF
This was wonderful.
If you're capable of doing this kind of thing once, you are not capable of being a better person. You are evil if you're able to hurt someone else intentionally. You just become better at hiding your true self. He would still be raping women if he hadn't been caught. They're only sorry when they're caught.
wait a min, you'll fish through the toilet and get other peoples shit on your hands but won't spit in the same sink (because of germs) but spit in the toilet where you'll later fish? 🤔
Great episode!
love Sam Robinson! He is a model of what it means to respect folks no matter what.
安昂昂欸安艾未未問我奧 嗯嗯 奧 昂 歐啊 惡意韋恩我
The thank you's- AMAZING, just listen to the very end!
Why aren't you calling this what it is, 'rape'?
Wow!! He's getting out this year? this episode was powerful......
This podcast is just pure gold. Well done, once again.
it is the personal touch. I know my man in jail can have the same feelings reading my letters as I did writing them. no pc or printed out paper can ever take that away.
