EH+ Where’s Talib Now? 

Troy “Talib” Young might hold the record for appearing in two different Ear Hustle episodes back to back. In Episode 43, Tired of Running, he shared his story about being on the lam, and in Episode 44, Nobody Comes Back, he talked about getting COVID while on parole. And we heard from him again in Episode 59, Cracked Windshield, discussing police misconduct. For this EH+ exclusive, Talib sits down with Rahsaan “New York” Thomas to talk about how much COVID cost him, his transition from gang member to re-entry specialist, and creating a men’s support group. Ear Hustle is a proud member of Radiotopia, from PRX.
