Dear Ear Hustle

The letters come from all over: incarcerated men and women listening to Ear Hustle on their tablets, fans tuning in from as far as Australia and the Philippines. Most of the time, the feedback is positive — but not always. On this first-ever letters episode, we follow up with a few of those listeners. Thank you to Caroline, Gabby, and Jennifer, for talking to us for this episode. This episode was scored with music by David Jassy, Antwan Williams, Dwight Krizman, and Bruce Wallace. Big thanks to Warden Andes and Lt. Berry at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center; Acting Warden Parker, Associate Warden Lewis, and Lt.
