Sending Messages: The Podcast Spy Hop Productions

This year the students in Sending Messages tried to make a holiday podcast, but didn't really get too far. Instead, enjoy poetry and letters about loss, lockup, and love from AktivE, Tina, Static, Scar, and C-Dot, as well as conversations featuring Virtuosity, AktivE, Static, Phoenix, C-Dot, G-Man, and Ruthless. This episode was mixed and hosted by Phoenix. Happy Holidays.

Join us on this house tour. Walk through the halls, peek in the rooms, and climb the stairs. This isn't just any house. This is a house made of memories. Bricks carved out of trauma, doors cracked by anger and floors worn by fear. But all of the locks are open, and the stories these walls are ready to tell are desperate to be heard. So come in.
Poetry and interviews for this episode by the following:
The kitchen - Virtuosity
The Closet - Star
The Bathroom - Tina Posole
What Home Means - Waffles & Answer
The Bedroom - K One
The Basement - Icarus
The Elevator - Kenzo
The Rooftop - Ghetti
Guiding us through this tour of the house is our resident Real Estate Agent, Scarr.  Stay close and don't wander off. She is the one with the keys.

This episode is a compilation for a research project about how the true stories and recollections by incarcerated youth can change attitudes about their situations to the public at large. While this episode is used for this purpose with a particular audience, we also wanted to share it with our larger podcasting audience as it represents some of the most impactful and interesting pieces from the last 12 years.
