New Podcast Features Ex-Cons' Stories

New

A new podcast features talk from men who have served time in prison and have straightened out their lives.

BOSTON-based POWDERHOUSE PRODUCTIONS has launched "EXCONVERSATIONS," created, hosted, and co-produced by former prison chaplain TAYMULLAH ABDUR-RAHMAN, who brought the project to POWDERHOUSE's JOEL OLICKER.  ABDUR-RAHMAN said, "When I started work in the prisons, I came with the same negative preconceptions that most people have about prisoners.  But then I got to know a lot of guys.  And they amazed and humbled me -- with their intelligence, their sensitivity, their emotional and spiritual depth, and their struggle to come to terms with their mistakes and to try to change their lives.... Once you hear a man's story, you're connected. That's the power of storytelling."
