EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Rebuilding Life After Prison*

How EarBuds Podcast Collective works: Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our curators. That curator finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. Listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above, through the RadioPublic app, or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast…)

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Lucy Copp

WHY THIS THEME?: As a volunteer in the California prison system for the past five years, I’ve seen and heard many stories of what it’s like to return to society after decades of incarceration and basically start life again from scratch. It’s a humbling and fascinating journey to go from a life-sentence to a life in the free world.

SHAMELESS PROMO: I’m passionate about inclusion, storytelling, and having conversations around healing and forgiveness. My hope is to bring Life on the Outside to life in another format by hosting live events and eventually, opening up a community space/recording studio for people returning home to learn the ins and outs of podcast production

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: I wrapped a Kickstarter campaign to raise $6,000 to help me continued this production. How do you recommend I keep that momentum going? Patreon? Ad Sales? Let me know what has worked for you!
