“Ear Hustle” airs on closed-circuit TV throughout the California prison system, and in every prison in Britain via the Prison Radio Network
EARLONNE WOODS left San Quentin state prison a free man in November 2018. He had served 21 years for attempted armed robbery before Jerry Brown, then the governor of California, commuted the rest of his 31-years-to-life sentence. At the time, Mr Woods was one of the most famous incarcerated men in America: “Ear Hustle”, a podcast about prison life which he co-created and co-hosted from San Quentin, has been downloaded more than 30m times.
Every episode must be approved by San Quentin’s public-information office before being released, which—Mr Woods and Ms Poor acknowledge—restricts the scope of subjects the show can tackle. Another limitation is funding. Some sponsors have proven reluctant to be associated with a prison, and others have been turned down by the show because of their own associations.
This means that episodes can on occasion seem awkward. Guests will disclose private information about themselves—their relationships with family members, for example—while skirting around the reason they wound up in San Quentin in the first place. “We’re not trying to let people off the hook,” Ms Poor insists. “It’s not about hiding what they did, or saying it doesn’t matter.
