  • Something different

    I have no idea how I came across this podcast. I don't know that I've ever known anyone who spent time in prison. But I've always believed they should be treated with dignity and respect and rehabilitated if possible. Thank you so much for bringing out the humanity in people who have in prison. The stories are fascinating and I hope they encourage people still in prison and people who are now their life on the outside.

  • Love the REAL stories

    Long time listener here. I listen to nearly every episode from beginning to end, and am always intrigued. While I do want the best for Ian and Matt on this podcast, the newer episodes with the celebrity guests aren’t doing it for me. I’m sure it brings a lot of new listeners in which is great and all, but try not to forget about us listeners that are here for the real stories from the real ones that we’re down, not for these people that claim to pay their way through and “run” their hard time 🙄... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I’m a Female Rookie Cop… Here’s the Truth | Kailee Victoria
Q: Was the plan always to go to a police department or were you eyeing, say, a federal agency?
I considered Homeland Security and federal opportunities due to benefits and growth, but I ultimately pursued local departments in Florida because of the fit, culture, and opportunities for social media engagement and community impact.
I’m a Female Rookie Cop… Here’s the Truth | Kailee Victoria
Q: What was the hardest thing about the Academy?
The hardest part was the physical and mental drain, plus the pressure of proving oneself among seasoned officers; I endured rigorous drills, often doubting myself, but I kept going and learned to breathe through the stress.
How I Survived 30+ Years in Florida & New Jersey State Prisons | Anthony Leahey
Q: What was the turning point that started your transformation behind bars?
The realization that forgiveness from family and the community could redefine who he was, followed by active involvement in church and Lifers Group activities that reframed his identity away from being a 'convict' toward a hopeful, accountable person.
I Was in the Sex Money Murder Gang — Then I Got 17 Years in Prison | Omar Aikens
Q: What were the early years like for you growing up in Trenton, and what factors influenced your path into crime?
The guest describes a challenging upbringing with a father figure involved in drugs, a neighborhood environment that normalized street activity, and the pull of money and fast moves, which collectively steered him toward drug dealing as a means to support his family.
Inside the Illegal Wildlife Trade — A Crime You Never See | Monique Snosnowski
Q: What is America's fascination with having exotic wildlife as pets and how does that feed trafficking?
Fascination drives demand for status symbols and novelty; people often underestimate how dangerous and illegal it is to keep wild animals, and trafficking networks exploit these curiosities to move animals into private homes.
