The new podcast “Written Off” highlights poems and stories by formerly and currently incarcerated young people. They’re affiliated with InsideOUT Writers, an LA-based nonprofit that teaches creative writing to people who have been in and out of the criminal justice system, using literary arts to help keep them out of it for good.
The podcast is hosted by multimedia journalist Walter Thompson-Hernández, created and produced by Lemonada Media, and includes pieces read by actors and musicians like John Legend, Issa Rae and Keke Palmer. It’s the brainchild of “Insecure” actor Jay Ellis, who has taught Inside OUT Writers (IOW) courses.
