At the end of 2023, Ear Hustle embarked on its first live tour — a celebration of our 100th episode. Nigel and Earlonne shared favorite moments from the show’s history, and a few of our talented friends performed live. On the heels of our second live tour, we bring you a never-before-heard recording from that first tour: a show we did at the Lodge Room in Earlonne’s hometown of Los Angeles.
And West Coast Ear Hustlers! Stay tuned — we’re planning to bring our new live show to you soon.
Thank you to Al Schatz, our supremely capable tour production manager; to the good folks at The Lodge Room; and to The Just Trust for supporting our live shows.
You can find more music from Maserati-E here, and from Richie Morris and San Quentin Blue on their website. Pedro Gomes provided beautiful animations for the 2023 EH Live tour. And if you haven’t already tuned into Song Exploder — hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway, who led the round of This and That in LA — you’re missing out!
This episode was scored with music by David Jassy, Rhashiyd Zinnamon, and Antwan Williams.
Big thanks to Warden Andes and Lt. Berry at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center; Acting Warden Parker, Associate Warden Lewis, and Lt. Newborg at the California Institution for Women; and Warden De La Cruz and Lt. Williams at the Central California Women’s Facility for their support of the show.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
