Prisoncast! was a statewide engagement journalism collaboration & two-hour radio special for people inside Illinois prisons & their loved ones outside. The sound-rich program combined music, journalism, sound design & interviews to serve them with actionable utility & a forum for connection. IPR stations banded together so the special broadcast could reach every prison in the state. It super-served an oft-forgotten group – Illinois’ (disproportionately Black, low-income) prison population.
