About this episode

Jack Laurence shares his experiences traveling to the U.S. for prison visits and award events.

In today's episode we pick up the story of my trip to the United States, just prior to me heading off. The plan for the trip is to hopefully get myself into at least one prison facility, and it looks like the only one I even have a shot at getting into is the East Jersey State Prison, which is currently housing Tariq Maqbool, so I jump on the phone with his cousin who is set to help me get through the gates. Once we have that sorted it's time to officially kick off the trip as I head to Sydney for the first ever Australian Audio Awards, where, well, I have a slight equipment issue before making my way to the bright lights of Vegas to attend the annual CrimeCon convention and for another award nomination. I find myself on a table of heavy hitters and get lost... a lot! After my stop in Vegas it's then time to make my way to the state of Louisiana to find out more about the case of Dwight Bergeron. So don't forget to pack your toothbrush! It's time for our first trip Stateside. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week! Apple + HERE Patreon and find us on Facebook here .
