“How one many rebuilt his life, 100 miles at a time”
Jan 19
Loved the “How one man rebuilt his life, 100 miles at a time” episode! It was my first listen for this podcast but definitely not my last. Such a good story and fascinating insight into life after prison for all these people.
Appreciation post
Jan 11
Thank you so much for bringing these insightful stories to us all. The one I just listened to was the one with Caesar in regard to his walk after prison, it’s good to hear that America is starting to bring light and proactive solutions to reduce recidivism. I hope to listen to more of this podcast. Lucy you did an amazing job!
Plain stupidity or misinformation?
Jan 19
So much misinformation spread in the anti black Latinos episodes. You should know what those words mean in Spanish or at least in Mexico.
Yes to local journalism!

I appreciate the local journalism especially on topics that we don’t get to hear from elsewhere. Will keep listening!
