For Walter ?Earlonne? Woods, the path to freedom was podcasting. Woods, 47, was recently released from San Quentin State Prison after California Gov. Jerry Brown commuted his 31-years-to-life sentence for attempted armed robbery. Brown cited Woods? leadership in helping other inmates and his work at ?Ear Hustle,? a podcast he co-hosts and co-produces that documents everyday life inside the prison. Woods has since been hired as a full-time producer for the often funny and at times heart-wrenching podcast, which has been a smashing success since its launch in 2017. The show?s roughly 30 episodes have been downloaded 20 million times by fans all over the world...
