Radio & Podcast

We supported Colorado Radio for Justice with funding for their production of the audio documentary series "Habitual," hosted by a formerly incarcerated radio talent, historicizing the legal designation of "habitual offender" and highlighting its impacts on individuals and communities.

 
DU PAI team previously produced the With(In) podcast in collaboration with the CDOC and launched the Inside Wire radio station, involving radio talents in various Colorado correctional facilities.

Previous Projects

With(in) Podcast

"With(in)" was an award winning podcast committed to shifting the conversation on who is in prison, specifically within the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC). 

"With(in)" was a collaboration between the DU Prison Arts Initiative and the CDOC and was recorded across three correctional facilities in Colorado: Sterling Correctional Facility, Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center and Denver Women’s Correctional Facility. "With(in)" Season 1 was released in September of 2019 and Season 2 was crafted virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic and was released in September of 2021.

Inside Wire: Colorado Prison Radio

Inside Wire: Colorado Prison Radio amplified the voices, stories, and creations of people impacted by the criminal legal system in Colorado and beyond. The station beamed original music, stories, and information across the world, via the Inside Wire app, created by currently and formerly incarcerated media producers, as well as their families and communities. 

Inside Wire previously broadcasted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering companionship, hope, play and a vision for building a new system of justice in the U.S. The station launched in 2022 with production studios inside numerous Colorado prisons. After its first two years, the station expanded to production outside of prison, creating opportunities for a broader range of voices to join the station's mission of fostering connection and community, cultivating joy and reflection, and empowering possibility and transformative and artistic justice.
