Involved is a 12-episode podcast using education, humor, and heart to deep dive into the criminal legal system: You’ll learn about cell tags, laugh about contraband jalapeños, and love rooting for our lead Myra and her husband as she works to support him, and the more than 2 million people incarcerated in the United States of America. Involved is the story about the people who visit prison, and the hidden (intentionally!) costs of incarceration in all of our lives. It is especially timely given this administration’s rapidly expanding carceral system. Episode 1 "Welcome to Prison Wife Radio" is available January 15th, 2026.
