When Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods met, Nigel was a photography professor volunteering with the Prison University Project and Earlonne was serving thirty-one years to life at Californias San Quentin State Prison. Initially drawn to each other by their shared interest in storytelling, neither had podcast production experience when they decided to enter Radiotopias contest for new shows . . . and won. Using the prize for seed money, Nigel and Earlonne launched Ear Hustle, named after the prison term for eavesdropping. It was the first podcast created and produced entirely within prison and would go on to be heard millions of times worldwide, garner Peabody and Pulitzer award nominations, and help earn Earlonne his freedom when his sentence was commuted in 2018.
In This Is Ear Hustle, Nigel and Earlonne share their own stories of how they came to San Quentin, how they created their phenomenally popular podcast amid extreme limitations, and what has kept them collaborating season after season. They present new stories, all with the same insight, balance, and rapport that distinguish the podcast. In an era when more than two million people are incarcerated across the United Statesa number that grows by 600,000 annuallyNigel and Earlonne explore the full and often surprising realities of prison life. With characteristic candor and humor, their moving portrayals include unexpected moments of self-discovery, unlikely alliances, inspirational resilience, and ingenious work-arounds.
One personal narrative at a time, framed by Nigels and Earlonnes distinct perspectives, This Is Ear Hustle reveals the complexity of life for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people while illuminating the shared experiences of humanity that unite us all.

This Is Ear Hustle is a must-read for fans of the legendary podcast and all those who seek to understand crime, punishment, and mass incarceration in America. In this unforgettable book, Nigel Poor, Earlonne Woods, and a range of fascinating people generously share their prison stories, inviting readers to understand human struggle in an inhumane system via humor, contemplation, and community.
Piper Kerman , author of Orange Is the New Black
This Is Ear Hustle is a jewel. Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods are gifted storytellers, and their ability to draw intimate, authentic stories out of others is extraordinary. With grace and humor they walk through what life is really like behind bars, showing the humanity and depth of those they meet inside.
Catherine Burns , artistic director, The Moth
A starkly honest series of conversations.
Newsweek
This Is Ear Hustle is full of details that bring you inside, not just San Quentin, but the Media Lab where the Ear Hustle podcast was conceived and raised. A life behind bars is every bit as full of hopes and dreams, accomplishments and setbacks, and love and loss as a life outside. Nigel and Earlonne give voice to those whose voices have been silenced, and remind us of the power of storytelling to connect and transform lives.
Nina Jacobson , film and television producer and founder of Color Force
I listen to Ear Hustle because it doesnt travel on the surface of the prison experience but dives deep into the humanity and transformation of those behind the walls, with raw and authentic representation of the real San Quentin. Nigel and Earlonne find a way to take a world that is invisible to most and make it relatable to everyday life through stories of love, joy, family, and resiliencewith a magical sense of hope.
Scott Budnick , film producer and founder of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition
The gift of the Ear Hustle podcast is that its just as revelatory for people whove done a bid as it is for those who have no idea what hearing a cell door closing really feels like. This Is Ear Hustle is one of the most influential pieces of art, broadcast journalism, and reportage to ever come out of a prison. Nigel and Earlonne have created a soundscape that is as inventive as it is provocative, and their book shows why we ear hustle, and why, somehow, sometimes, it makes us feel like we were there.
Reginald Dwayne Betts , author of Felon
Im a big fan of these two angels of the radio, Earlonne and Nigel, whose dreamy collaboration, a conversation I love to listen in on, gives me joy and amusement, and also: hope.
Rachel Kushner , author of The Hard Crowd and The Mars Room

EARLONNE Well, okay then. Lets do this.
I grew up in the late 1970s in South Central Los Angeles in a two-parent home with my older brother, Trevor. My mother, Alyce Faye Woods, worked for the post office. My father, Walter Earl Woods, was an alcoholic who hustled in the streets and never really had a job. We only interacted when I was in trouble. He never played with me, never watched me play sports, never talked to me, never helped me with my homeworkbut hed fasho whoop my asslike I wasnt learning what he was teaching.
Trevor and I fought a lotas brothers dobut he was also my protector. He was four years older, so my parents always left him in charge. To him, that meant he owned me and had the right to beat me up as he pleased. Id always be the one crying after a round of fisticuffs. One time he beat me up badly enough that I was hungry for revenge, so I conceived of a plot to get back at him. I paid close attention and observed his routine when he was watching football. Hed lounge on the couch until the commercials came on, at which point hed always get up to do something. Every time he ran back to the couchwithout failhed do a swan dive right into his pillow, headfirst
