How does it feel to come of age in some of the UK’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods? What really drives inner city crime? What’s it like being sent to jail at a young age and released with nothing? We hear a lot about the issues of gangs, youth crime and county lines, but we hardly ever hear from the people with the best insight of all: young prison leavers themselves.
This is Mike's story - how he makes ends meet with fake money, goes inside and then learns to make coffee.
Produced by Jack Suddaby (Beautiful Strangers)
All men in this series have been supported by award-winning rehabilitation charity Switchback.

In an undisclosed alley, a diver finds divinity among the dumpsters. Bada bing, bada boom! Who knew dumpster diving could be so lucrative?
This series of short audio portraits from Chicago draws from the long lineage of oral history recording in the city, perhaps inspired by the likes of Studs Terkel and the assumption that everyone has a story if you just ask.

Pandora is an episode of Everyone Else, an audio-visual oral history project telling the stories of strangers. Each episode is dedicated to one speaker, their words edited to ambient sound design and music.
In this episode, a man recalls the summer of 1965 when he decided to track down and write to an iconic flapper and actress of the 1920s, after reading her article in a magazine.
A surprising love story that shifts from fantasy to reality from this award winning podcast, proving that everyone has a story if they are just listened to in the right way.

Randal Morrison is a third generation Huon Piner. He lives in Strahan, Tasmania. Helene met Randal at his saw mill in Queenstown and as they talked he reminisced about his times as a young boy going out with his father to the banks of the Gordon River to collect Huon Pine logs.
The Wayfinder is a mobile recording studio designed and built in Tasmania. It is a professional sound booth with acoustic insulation properties and has been carefully designed to make people feel comfortable and relaxed and conducive to conversation. It was an idea born from the imagination of its creator, Helene Thomas. Inspiration has been drawn from the US initiative StoryCorps and the BBC’s The Listening Project, where stories are preserved in order to build connections between people.
