Snowy_7Fair and InterestingI have been listening for years and will not stop. They approach each topic with compassion and fairness. No one is a winner or right or wrong. It is just sharing the stories to better understand one another.
-
RedValiseOne of the best podcasts aroundThis really should be required listening — cannot say enough about how comprehensive, powerful, and healing this show is and the people who work on it, they are IN it! Total pros, also willing to get vulnerable and listen courageously. I learn so much every episode. My recent fave is episode 102, What’s Up, Michael Freeman?

peggyreaveyEH +An outstanding show. It stings to have supported EH from the very first show and then be shut out unless you pay. I know your brequest is reasonable and necessary. It still feels like a huge loss. Remarkable show.

Annoyed & Over It 2019Real & EngagingI love this podcast! I recently found it and have been hooked ever since. I love how these stories aren’t centered on the crime but surrounds the people! Big ups to all that have been freed, especially Earlonne! Keep doing what y’all doin!

singsvaltoEye openingI love the show and appreciate its ability to teach me important things.

lamumfiaEarlonne is a treasureDeeply human, compelling, funny, engaging, insightful, challenging, complex, and humanizing. Worth the download, and the time to listen. And listening to the arc as storytellers are released and transition to civilian life? Heart-expanding. Thank you for giving me so many people to root for in a chaotic and confusing world.
-
bugeatmudOne of the bestThis show is one of my absolute favorites. Nigel and Earlonne are great storytellers and have a strong, respectful friendship with their conversations building off each other. Ear Hustle tells intimate stories related to San Quentin without being exploitative. They’re sincere, genuine, and just engaging. I was hooked after the very first episode where they discussed how to create makeup while locked up.

veteran podcast listenerIn my top 10Everyone should listen to this podcast, it sheds light on the prison system and gives you an amazing perspective on incarcerated individuals
-
@EarHustleMy favorite by far!!!Since the conception of the show I’ve been a faithful listener. Being a former inmate in North Carolina, I can relate to most of not all topics and have learned how society looks at formally incarcerated individuals. Erlon and Nigel are a great duo and I hope EarHustle last forever!!! Keep up the great work!
-
AperrrGreat showNigel and Erlon are a great pair. Even though Nigel stands out like a sore thumb, she radiates comfortability, so that makes others comfortable to speak with her. Some of the stories are so intimate others are just kind of funny. Truly a great show.
-
Awesome😀👍🏻the gardenNigel, Earlonne and crew. This podcast is a beautiful experience, one episode at a time.. The way you delve into people and their stories is how we should all invest in each other, despite differences. Thank you for the goosebumps, the tears, the understanding and the laughs. You are planting seeds of humanity.

Tan’s momLife Changing!Ear Hustle has literally changed my life over the 10 years I have been listening. It has introduced me to a world about which I never thought before I started with the podcast.

MRose340Best podcast out thereHi! I’ve been listening from the beginning and am obsessed with the show. I tell everyone that it’s the best thing out there and so eye & heart opening. I’ve also got Nigel’s beautiful book and am such a fan girl. I saw you in an airport a few months ago and wanted to tell you all how much your work means to me but was too starstruck to speak a word to you and I regret it so here it is, thank you!!
-
Toughchick128So Real!I just found this show and I love it! It is so real! I love how the hosts disarm inmates when they are feeling nervous about a certain subject, such as with Metro and his objects in “Hope Laquer”. I highly recommend this podcast!
-
DJWill44Love this show!Been listening to this show since the beginning and I just learned how to leave a comment lol. Keep killing it guys. Love how you’re showing a different side of the Prison system. These inmates are people too and they all have different stories. Again, keep up the great work!

#unicorn sparkleReceipts / Reviews 🙂Hey Ear Hustle! Compelling, thoughtful and moving Podcast! Thank you to all involved for your time and effort interviewing, writing, editing and inspiring. My dad goes into Folsom prison weekly to hold a church service and facilitate a recovery class. If it weren’t for Ear Hustle and my dad’s stories I would know nothing about the folks living inside. I am grateful for the stories and important insights the people offer here! Your stories matter. You matter. Peace.
-
arcticfox01Profound and mythic.Almost impossible to describe the perfection of the presenting, presenters, and most importantly the subjects that open your mind to ideas and situations that express the human spirit and are humbling and thought provoking. If you listen, be ready to cry, smile, feel compelled, and saddened, all within a few minutes.
-
Florida EvansNo, just no…Let me say I love this podcast and have been listening for years. This message is specifically for Nigel, everyone does NOT pee in the shower. Animals even prefer a designated place for their waste. I hope anyone who has ever stayed in your home heard you say this and in the future will book a hotel or make sure they have a pair of shower shoes.

Ms. GabbiMy All Time Favorite PodcastI love this show! I’ve learned so much about humanity and life. It’s funny, sometimes sad, but ultimately moving. As a writer and poet, I’ve been inspired by the people and stories on this show. I literally fiend for the next episode. Thank you to all of the people who have been kind and brave enough to share their stories.
-
Sara--GFan since the beginningI’ve been listening to this podcast, and so very beginning. If you have a loved one, who’s been to Saint Quentin, it’s even more insightful. The last couple seasons, they have showcase, incarcerated women, and I really appreciate that!
-
PeaflyGregAll the love and best wishes for Greg.

BflatchristianLOVEThank you for such beautifully produced, honest, and heartfelt shows. I am not incarcerated, nor have I ever known anyone in prison, but I thoroughly enjoy hearing the stories of people whose voices we don’t normally get to hear. Keep cranking it out!

Spike 1954unbelievably good!I heard a short ad for this podcast on another. I was listening to and I subscribed immediately. My third husband – I know that’s a little excessive but I was a kid of the 60s – had been in Folsom prison for 12 years. This show gives me great insight into his life before our marriage. The marriage, I am afraid to say “went south“ but I still have very fond memories of who he was. Thank you for an excellent production. There’s no other word for it but “excellent”. If you’ve never listened do so it will change your outlook almost immediately. You can’t say that about mini podcasts. Love you guys! You’re doing a great job.

BeautyIsAnimateSkyI have enjoyed Ear Hustle since the beginning. (Snap Judgement *might* have been the pod that pointed me to Ear Hustle.) This week’s episode with Sky was probably my favorite episode to date. If there’s any way the folks at Ear Hustle could connect Sky with Button Poetry, I think all parties would be very happy with the outcome. 💖

Adr_SanSo excited for new seasonFinding the humanity in each person thru candid interviews while giving us a real sense of what its like to be a resident in SQ and other places. The questions are insightful. Many of those interviewed are introspective, funny, creative, and have plans and ambitions. Through the stories we get insight into justice systems and the impact that reforms could have. The dynamic between E and Nige is so endearing, sometimes humorous and they elicit the best of each other. It’s in my top2 of all podcasts ever. I wait with great anticipation for the next episode and often re-listen to to get all the nuances and original music. Written long ago and now I am disappointed because I was an early adopter and now being asked to pay to listen. I listen to 20 podcasts so I can’t afford to pay for all of them.

blacksunContent only available if you subscribeI used to be a huge fan of this podcast, but now most content is only available if you subscribe :/ I don’t mind listening to adverts but please don’t force me to subscribe!!

super visionBinged and learned.I was late learn about Ear Hustle, but once I started I smashed through all 12 seasons in a few weeks!! Listen and learn. I’m so happy to have this knowledge that I’ll use to support changes we very much need in our prison systems… and you’ll have fun. I miss Sam Robinson’s perspective and wisdom. I hope more CO’s feel this is a welcome place to contribute, and we’ll listen. I have my Ear Hustle Hoodie and rockin’ it in Brooklyn NY. Continued best wishes for this important work. sj

yantiarifinAmazing podcastThis podcast humanizes and brings to light the beautiful and forgotten souls in Americas prisons. Completely changed the way I think of the incarcerated. Everyone in America needs to listen to this.
-
chaosdWhyIt was great and now a paywall. Great. I’m sure it’s still great but I’m so sad. I know support is needed, but there’s so many other ways than messing with the flow.
-
#agirlhasanameThanks for giving us voices from the insideSo thankful that a friend in my book club told me about this podcast, which I’m now telling everyone about. Thanks for finding a way to let people tell their stories.
-
FebMaFantastic PodcastI love Ear Hustle and have been listening to every episode since the beginning. Earlonne does a great job.

Mslarue72Stories that hitCompletely changed my perspective on prisons in America and the people who live within. Nigel and earlonne are really great interviewers. Long time listener first time commenter. Stay cool.

Wabi NI can not say enoughI have been listening to Ear Hustle since the second week of it’s original air date. Nigel and Earlonne take us on such an immersive ride. We learn about the two of them( feels that way)and listen to their growth and their growing love for one another, and their journey to take us on the inside. Something I thought was a new concept,an interesting one no doubt. They have brought something refreshing to the podcast table,and I can appreciate them taking an interest in the world that they have. Guys rate and review this show. Listen from the beginning,support and take care of these two. The only downside is having to wait for the next season !!!

ronniwells23Incredible! Enlightening! Evoking!It’s so incredible to be able to hear directly from incarcerated people about heavier topics and their every day lives. Such a large portion of our population lives completely segregated stripped of their freedom and silenced, this podcast feels like a much needed connection to human beings we as a society have decided to “throw away.” Nigel and Earlonne have great chemistry and the whole team shows empathy and true connection with their interviewees. Ear Hustle successfully presents their interviewees to the listener as layered and complicated human beings. I’ve been listening since the beginning and am so proud of all this team has accomplished, congrats on 100 episodes and I can’t wait for the next 100!

LeilareviewEye openingThis is such an amazing podcast. It really opens your eyes to the lives and stories of imprisoned people, plus it’s funny and entertaining! It’s got it all. I love Nigel and Earlone!
-
__k.zShines lightLove this podcast and how the hosts really dive deep into the culture inside prisons and educating the world about it, especially appreciative of the light on marginalized communities such as trans folx.
-
Lifecake devoteeA gem - everyone should listen to thisPrison life is not something I had ever wanted to imagine or know more about, but I took a chance on this excellent podcast when it first began and quickly because hooked - I never miss a episode. Though it’s broadcast from San Quinton and other prisons (for both women and men) featuring largely incarcerated people, this is a hopeful, touching, interesting, at times funny, always evocative and original series of stories about people. Eat Hustle humanizes the experience of incarcerated people in a way I could never have imagined. Earlonne Woods and Nigel Poor are masterful storytellers and extraordinary partners; their vision and heart is captivating. Everyone should listen to this podcast to better understand humanity and what connects - and separates - us all.
-
Previous Droid UserInsightfulSuch valuable insight and perspective in this podcast. It’s a beautiful balance of tough stuff, self-expression, and the everyday mundanity of prison life. I’ve listened for years and was even inspired to start writing to an incarcerated person. We’ve built an invaluable friendship over the last few years.
-
JuneboogyListen upI started listening to Ear Hustle in 2019 during a debilitating illness. I have been listening ever since. This podcast will change your understanding of United States prisons and the people who are doing time in them. In their interviews and reporting, the Ear Hustle team reminds us that people who are incarcerated are human and deserving of respect and understanding. Give this podcast a listen.
