Keep it coming with the real prison stories! Just listened to John Moore episode and loved it
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.
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.
