ABOUT TIME the PODCAST

Released just weeks ago, “Boss” served 41 years for murder; most of them as a shot caller presiding over a faction of the convict-run shadow government that effectively runs the prisons. Boss shares his past, told in raw, no-holds-barred fashion, from his initiation as a 20-yo kid, through his rise to prison royalty and all the stops along the way. Boss served time in all of New York’s toughest prisons and rubbed shoulders with many of its most notorious criminals. Episodes focus on fascinating/little known corners of prison life and each episode opens with a riveting jailhouse story and ends with a realtime update on Boss’s status as he works to reintegrate into a world that is barely recognizable to him. Through it all, the listener experiences life as it really was for Boss and his fellow convicts: the daily dehumanization, the brotherhood formed among them, and the grinding monotony punctuated both by gut-wrenching and brutal horrors and antics designed to maintain sanity and pass the TIME.
