Pull over to a gas station and grab the most decadent meal before listening to this freak show of an episode of Busted Business Bureau! For the first time in podcast history, the guests are able to steamroll me for more than 7 sentences overall. As the hosts of a comedy podcast about the so-called justice system, Kathryn and Kyrie are perfect to talk to me about what happens when a lot of people break Civil Rights Laws for the love of the game.
Thanks for your patience between episodes. As my Patreon subscribers are intimately familiar with, my fulltime job and life is making podcasting much harder...I will get to the next episode when I frigging get to it!
Kathryn and Kyrie are two hosts of the Beyond Bars podcast where they interview people impacted by the "justice" system, mostly people who have been to jail. Link here! https://open.spotify.com/show/5ftr0ow1XV6U7tpLVProtC
