Are you a knowledge junkie who loves when facts are stranger than fiction? Do you find yourself constantly tripping down Wikipedia rabbit holes (and delighting in the journey)? Have you ever been told you ask a lot of questions? If so, congrats! You’re one of us: a Part-Time Genius! Join Will, Mango, and the team as we scour the globe in search of obscure facts, offbeat locales, and hidden histories. Along the way, we’ll chat with experts, play some games, get in touch with our silly side, and celebrate the fine art of staying curious.

Ear Hustle is prison slang for eavesdropping, and that’s what listening to the show feels like: a raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison. 

Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne’s release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the California Institution for Women, as well as stories about getting out of prison and starting over, post-incarceration.

From finding romance, to grappling with a life sentence, to trying to parent via 15-minute phone calls, Ear Hustle stories deliver what This American Life host Ira Glass calls a “"very real” and “untragic” take on prison life. 

Ear Hustle is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX, a network of independent listener-supported podcasts. Discover audio with vision at radiotopia.fm and learn more about Ear Hustle at earhustlesq.com. 

Get a shot of pop culture Botox with How To Be Less Old (formerly OMFG). Emily Foster & Deanna Cheng are reaching out to the youth of America in an attempt to stay young and hip. Or at the very least, less lame. Did you think MCM was a new party drug? Is Salt Bae a person or a town on Long Island? We don't know, but we do care! So we're talking to youths to hip us up to what's happening. Awesome guests like Tara Lynne Barr (God Bless America), Jason Mantzoukas (How Did This Get Made?), Casey Wilson (Bitch Sesh) and and dancer/social media influencer Jordyn Jones, share their expertise on the latest fashions, phrases and trends that their opting into / out of. We're doing this for us but we're also doing this for you, because let’s face it: you want to be less old too.
