This month, the group will explore the newest groundbreaking addition to the Radiotopia family, Ear Hustle. Released last month, Ear Hustle is already topping charts as the first podcast produced entirely from within prison walls. Bay Area artist Nigel Poor teams up with two San Quentin inmates to shed light on the social dynamics, culture and day-to-day struggles of prison life.

Those of open ears and open minds come together to dissect, devour and discuss new ideas inspired by monthly podcast selections. CWE Ideas will broach an array of topics and genres from the vast selection of exceptional programming provided by this booming toast to traditional radio storytelling. This Thursday the group will investigate Criminal: a podcast, as told by host, Phoebe Judge, “Criminal is a podcast about crime."
