I started listening many seasons into the show but started at season 1. It is surreal to have now "caught up". It has been a great series to follow along from the beginning and hear how the stories have evolved over time.

Started listening when it first came out to demystify life in prison. Kept listening as they grew beyond that trope to focus on the humanity of incarcerated people. Excellent show.

I love it, but listening to the death row episode, I couldn't bring myself to care about them the way I do the others. I think it was a mistake to disclose their full names, which makes it easy to Google them and pass judgment.

Description
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.
