Ear Hustle brings you the daily realities of life inside prison, shared by those living it, and stories from the outside, post-incarceration. The podcast is a partnership between Nigel Poor, a Bay Area visual artist, and Earlonne Woods, formerly incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, and was co-founded with San Quentin resident Antwan Williams. The Ear Hustle team works in the San Francisco Bay Area, both in San Quentin State Prison's media lab and from offices on the outside, to produce stories that are sometimes difficult, often funny and always honest. Episodes offer a nuanced view of people involved with the American prison system and those reintegrating into society after serving time.

Ear Hustle is a non-fiction podcast about prison life produced at San Quentin State Prison by inmates Earlonne Woods and Antwan Williams, along with Nigel Poor, an artist who volunteers at the prison. It is the first podcast to be created entirely inside a prison. In 2016, it was selected by the Radiotopia network as the winner of its Podquest competition, and subsequently released its first season between June and October 2017. On November 21, 2018, California governor Jerry Brown commuted Earlonne Woods' sentence, citing Ear Hustle as a significant contributor to his reformation as an American citizen.
