Ear Hustle Presents: Violation

Artwork by Diego Mallo

It’s summertime! Which means the Ear Hustle team is off cooking up a new batch of stories for our next season — Season 12 — launching September 6.

In the meantime, we’re bringing you an episode from one of our favorite new podcasts, Violation.

The series revisits a 1986 murder case, in which 16-year-old Jacob Wideman — son of award-winning author John Edgar Wideman — fatally stabbed his summer camp roommate. Violation explores the parole process, examining who pulls the levers of power in our criminal system.

Violation is a project of WBUR and The Marshall Project. All episodes are now available anywhere you get your podcasts. Find out more here.
