Episode 42: Catch a Kite 5

We’re in the middle of our first-ever spring fundraiser. If you can spare a little to support the show, go to earhustlesq.com/donate. Thank you!

Every season we answer questions from listeners in our Catch a Kite episode. This time around, formerly incarcerated people lend their experiences and lessons learned to a group of kids currently incarcerated at a juvenile facility in Madison, Wisconsin.

Thanks to Amika Mota, Romarilyn Ralston, Frankie Smith, Chayne Hampton, Jason Jones, Carlos Flores, Kenyatta Leal, Tommy Shakur Ross, Sam Lewis, Michael Nelson, Antwan Williams and Eric “Maserati-E” Abercrombie for appearing in this episode.

This episode was scored with music by Antwan Williams. Welcome to him and our new editor, Amy Standen, who have recently been hired onto the team.

You can check out “Uncuffed” here — that’s the podcast that Tommy Shakur Ross helps produce along with other people incarcerated at San Quentin and Solano State prisons.

Thanks to Lt. Sam Robinson and Acting Warden Ron Broomfield for their support of the show.
