Episode description
The Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast returns for its second season!
Seven years after his release from prison, former juvenile lifer Luis "Suave" Gonzalez seems to
be thriving. His career has taken off, he’s in a committed relationship and he’s received public
recognition after telling his story on the podcast. Suave always thought once he was out of
prison and found stability in his new life, he would finally feel truly free. But freedom, it turns out,
is more complicated than it seems. "Suave" is a deeply intimate portrait of a man battling the
lingering trauma of incarceration and his search for happiness in the outside world after a near-
lifetime in prison.
In this season we explore the long shadow of prison.
