This months show features interviews with Stickz and Lilz and includes music from InHouse artists C.Roots, Jonno and Yannick. Stickz has been with InHouse label since it began at HMP Elmley in 2017. After serving 2.5 years on remand, for a crime he was never convicted of, he now works as a freelancer for the label on the outside. We talk about the meaning of punishment, creativity as freedom and the idea of prison life being both infectious and comfortable. We also talk to fashion designer Lilz about how the world has changed since he began his sentence, 15 years ago, the importance of investing in your passion and his aspiration to give something back to society now that he is free.

This months podcast features interviews with: Jeffrey who met the InHouse label at HMP Rochester whilst serving a sentence of 3 years and 4 months. Since leaving prison he has gone on to set up a talent agency and is an enthusiastic advocate for the music industry as a way for people to engage with the world in a creative and meaningful way. Alfred who had served a 3.5 year sentence and was released from prison only a week before the recording of this interview. We talk about his growing up with the carnival spirit of St. Lucia, music as bliss and the problem with prison being an informal school for those wishing to continue with the criminal life. Phil who has worked in the music industry for many years and after meeting InHouse in prison whilst serving a 3.5 year sentence, has been producing artists on the label. We talk about the industry being a meaningful alternative to crime and the hours he spent in his cell composing dance music with just his ideas and a notebook.

InHouse The Podcast - Episode 6: Music and stories from the world's first prison run record label This month's episode includes interviews with: George aka Jukie G. - released from prison 2 years ago after serving an 18 year sentence. He talks openly about the experience of serving a sentence of that magnitude, the realities of adjusting to life on the outside and the importance and potential of music to heal us. Michael Mau - a music producer who at the time of recording had left prison 4 weeks earlier, after serving 5 years. We talk about using prison to study, music making as a way to manipulate time and creativity as a means to reinventing yourself. We also talked with Jonno, a 24 year old artist who served a sentence of 18 months. We discuss the creative process as 'telling a story that you already know', the importance of not being distracted from your goals and how the experience of prison taught him patience.

This week the podcast takes a little mid season breather to share with you a mini documentary about the InHouse label; it’s core values and a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes. We start by hearing from the labels founder Judah Armani about why InHouse exists and how he understands its underlying structure as a social design tool. We then meet up with Dave Rapley for a coffee who at the time of recording this had just finished a 9 month sentence at HMP lewes. A few days after his release the podcast joins him as he meets up with the label for the first time on the outside at the Royal College of Art (all interviews recored in early 2019).
