This year, to celebrate 80 years of KALW, we’re throwing it back on Thursdays. And today, in honor of breast cancer awareness month, we’re starting the show with a story from the early days of San Quentin Radio.
Since 2009, inmates and staff at San Quentin have held their own Breast Cancer awareness walkathon. The two-day breast cancer walk brings volunteers inside the prison, where they walk alongside the incarcerated men to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
Then I speak with Earlonne Woods, who produced that story. He was released from prison in 2018 and is now the co-creator and co-host of the hit podcast Ear Hustle from Radiotopia, with Nigel Poor. I talked to them about their journey and their new book.
