    What?
    What did I just listen to? I fail to see how everyone laughing about dudes going to jail, remembering their jail number or if they walked around in flip flops is relevant to anything.

    Transparent in a humble way
    I listen to way too many podcasts, many of them being true crime, and I can’t think of many that have anything close to this type of lens to see the incarcerated world through. It starts and ends with their willingness to put themselves out there in such a brutally honest way. Remarkable.
