What does it take to build real intimacy when every conversation is monitored and a first kiss might be years away?

Hosts Christopher Blackwell, an incarcerated journalist, and Katherin Hervey, a documentary filmmaker and lawyer, explore the raw realities of finding love behind bars, and the relationship challenges people face on both sides of the prison wall.

Plus, why doing “nerdy, stupid, simple shit” like crafts may be the ultimate relationship goal.

As the Broken is Beautiful pod gets started, our team wants to hear from you. Where are you listening from, what does your view look like, and what do you want Chris and Katherin to dive into on the pod? Email us at [email protected]. As a bonus for reaching out, we’ll send you Chris’ sketch of Chubbs, the “super fat raven” that everybody at the prison loves.
