And find out how you can watch the main event — Nigel and Earlonne live in conversation with Piper Kerman on November 3 — here. As always, big thanks to Lt. Sam Robinson and Warden Ron Broomfield for their support of the show. Ear Hustle is a proud member of Radiotopia, from PRX. Find a full list of episode credits at earhustlesq.com.
