Get ready for 53 minutes of feel-good radio! 🙂
Earlonne Woods & Nigel Poor discuss how they launched their award-winning Ear Hustle Podcast while Earlonne was still incarcerated—and why the stories they share inside and outside of prison are not about redemption; stand-up comedian Dylan Adler reveals what he considers a real missed opportunity on this college application essay; and singer-songwriter Margo Cilker chats about signing her first artist to her new label—her husband Forrest VanTuyl, who joined her to perform "Lowland Trail."
Take a listen at livewireradio.org/episodes/719.
In last week’s new episode, podcaster Avery Trufelman (“99% Invisible”) talks about the fascinating origins of menswear fashion.
Her new show “Articles of Interest” is all about what we wear. Avery also sat down with our friends at Ear Hustle to dive deeper into prison uniforms for an episode.
We highly recommend checking it out!

In two days! 🎙️ “You’re Wrong About” podcast host Sarah Marshall returns to Live Wire with a new project to share, a CBC limited-series all about the Satanic Panic called “The Devil You Know.”
Sarah () can turn any topic into the most fascinating deep dive you’ve ever done. Last time we had her on the show, she explained how our culture’s memory of certain stories, like this one about “The Shoe Bomber” Richard Reid, can permeate our lives and the ways we live them.
The show is this Thursday, 7:30pm at the Alberta Rose Theatre. Will we see you there?

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, LUKE! ✨
Our beloved host is kind of like the Pikachu of public radio. Today may not be a new episode day, but our re-run features a throwback to this Best News story about middle-aged men trading cards in Kawara, Japan. Well, although 50 years is still young, we thought it’d only be appropriate to celebrate this way.
If you want to express your support for Luke, as well as the incredible guests he’ll be interviewing, grab a ticket to our show next Thursday at the Alberta Rose Theatre!
