Hope more is coming!

Great show!

This was so well written and presented. Pineapple Street you did it again.... intelligent, witty, insightful. I would love to here more.

What a well produced, compelling podcast helping to further shine a light on the US prison system. What a waste of money, hopes, time - that could all be put towards helping people move forward. There’s a movement to change how our prison system functions, here’s hoping this podcast helps make that happen.

Thank you for this podcast. The show is fun to watch and hits home but this is absolutely gets to the nitty gritty. Lack of touch for 2 years still screws me up 3 years later. One day people ‘in the free’ will understand how demoralizing prison is and doesn’t have to be. Keep shining light into societies dark corners and bringing awareness.

I always knew that our prison industrial complex was corrupt - watching OITNB made me see it from a different perspective. We are taught that prisoners are inherently bad, dangerous, evil. This is not the case - anyone who knows someone in the system knows this, however this podcast makes it very much a reality for people who don’t grasp that. This is amazing, gut wrenching, and oh so bjttersweet. I love this podcast - and we are only two episodes in. I admire Piper Kerman for using her position to open up a conversation and really bring light to these very real issues that affect every day Americans, not just people in prison. I look forward so, so much to every new episode.

I never thought much about the prison system before the light OITNB spread on it. I was so anxious to listen to the first episode and it did not disappoint. I’m hooked not for a good story, but because of the issues incarcerated women are facing. When you don’t see it, you don’t think about it which I imagine makes these women feel even more isolated from society. Thank you for the work you are doing. It is working. I’m proof.

Piper’s voice was so robotic, lifeless and tedious I couldn’t even get past 5 minutes. Good idea, sadly, poorly executed.

I was so sad when we had to say goodbye to our favorite characters from the show, but now we get to hear from them once more in an enlightening way. Absolutely cannot wait for the first podcast!!!

I am so excited about this! Can’t wait to listen.

There is no one I want to hear from more than the real women whose stories OITNB is inspired by. Bravo for putting them forward.
