“Doing a great job on a world that most Americans are insulated from, giving a voice to folks most Americans don't want to know or hear about. Big shout out to JC Swadic(spelling?) the sound mix was really spot on!”

“If this isn't the first radio show to focus entirely on the US prison system, then it's certainly the best. Wonderful, human-centered reporting from George Lavender of stories not often heard in the media. A must listen.”

“Off the Block stands out. I caught it several times while driving, and sought the other episodes online. Each story is insightful, human and educational. I’ll be honest that I knew very little about the LA jail system before listening, though I know quite a bit about the criminal justice system...”Read full review »

“I find it ironic that a British journalist has been my gateway into the criminal justice system in LA - a world that I’ve had zero contact with (for example, the bail bond system was still a bit confusing to me prior to listening to this series).

“George Lavender has the kind of gentle voice (both literally and figuratively) that allows him to go places, ask questions and report hard facts in a way that disarms both interviewees and listeners. It's just the kind of voice needed to guide a series about the criminal justice system. I can't...”Read full review »

“It's a fantastic podcast. The sound is rich, the narration is stripped back to just what's needed. You don't feel like Lavendar goes on too much - letting the ordinary people caught up in the justice system speak, so we hear their voices.
I had no idea how parts of the justice system works on...”Read full review »

“This show seeks out and lifts up the voices of people caught up in the criminal justice system in Los Angeles, and treats them and their stories with respect. This is extremely rare in mass media and makes for a super compelling listen. You will learn a lot, but it doesn’t feel academic at all....”Read full review »

“The passion for humanity that spills from the edges of this podcast cannot be understated. Considering the political and social turmoil of today, this podcast takes special care to paint a full picture of the street without 'taking sides.' Don't miss this one”
