  • Bobby is actually a solid dude

    I did time with Bobby at St. Louis Correctional Facility. He’s one of the only people who was able to hold an intellectual conversation. He’s insightful. He’s been through a lot. He’s actually a really good person. Happy to call him a homie. Can’t wait to see what you do when you’re out, Chino!

  • Great podcast!

    Bobby shines a light on the dark corner of society called “The Correctional Institution”. In a very entertaining and clever way, we get to see what life is like for those in the penal system. I’ve been a solid listener since Doug turned me on to his podcast
