I am a long-time listener of the Ear Hustle podcast, which certainly influenced my experience with this book. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the audiobook as much as the podcast. Although the narration wasn't bad, the audiobook didn't capture the same life and emotion that comes across in the real-time interviews in the podcast. That being said, I did appreciate how the authors/hosts addressed some things I had always wondered about the podcast. Namely, I like the "slice-of-life" approach of the podcast, but I was often critical of how little they addressed systematic problems with mass incarceration. The audiobook does address how they decided to frame their podcast and why, which I appreciated. After writing this review, I can't tell if podcast listeners will enjoy this book more or less than non-listeners, but I recommend the podcast nonetheless.
