“I’m finding the stories a lot less meaningful than they used to be. Feels more like meandering pointless musings by the same people”

“Deeply 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...”Read full review »

“I used to look forward to new episodes. Now I listen to them and I’m not interested. Also, there is an older episode where Nigel does a terrible and insensitive interview of a victim of sexual assault. Go back to interviewing the incarcerated individuals. Those are the stories that brought us to...”Read full review »

“This podcast has changed so much. I used wait every week for the next episode. Now I just don’t care. Please do more stories on the inmates and what happens inside. I feel like you are trying so hard to come up with clever content but most of the episodes now are just so boring! No one cares...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. Always expands my thinking. However, in this episode, the non Kamala supporters cited her as the Prosecutor who keeps them in Prison.
These people committed a crime. They are there for a reason.
True to Trump supporters they are thinking in a false (self) narrative. They...”Read full review »

“I’ve worked in jail and oftentimes work with people who have been in jail and prison.
I oftentimes think there but for the Grace of God go I. It could be me in there instead of out here. Even tho I know it’s not exactly God but a lot of other factors. This show touches you deeply if you let it....”Read full review »

“I’ve been a fan of Ear Hustle for years. I just listened to the episode about reading in prison. It was one of the best. I’m amazed and pleased that so many prisoners read.

“This show is somehow non-abolitionist and has a vested interest in keeping people in prisons to profit off of “telling their stories”. Sure it’s great to humanize incarcerated people but the end goal should always be DE-carceration and creating a society in which prisons no longer exist. This...”Read full review »
