Ear Hustle Booking Agency Profile

Book Ear Hustle for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The first podcast recorded and broadcast in a prison, Ear Hustle, debuted with first-person accounts of the everyday reality of life inside San Quentin State Prison in California. The podcast currently offers stories from both inside jail and from the outside, post-incarceration. It was co-founded by Bay Area artist Nigel Poor together with Earlonne Woods and Antwan Williams, both of whom were incarcerated at the time.
The first time the category was acknowledged, Ear Hustle was declared a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in audio reporting for providing viewers with a continually startling and exquisitely made series on incarceration. An Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award was given to Ear Hustle for "shattering the myths about serving time and what happens after."
The Moran Center for Youth Advocacy, the Third Coast International Audio Festival and the Peabody Awards have all recognized Ear Hustle. It has also been nominated twice.
Earlonne and Nigel have spoken at commencement ceremonies for the Bennington College and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, given a keynote address at Podcast Movement and discussed their work at the City Arts & Lectures and Commonwealth Club series in San Francisco as well as the Tribeca Festival in New York. Ear Hustle has also sparked a number of creative projects, such as the dance production "Songs from the Spirit" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which included music from the podcast..

CTI can give you the accurate Ear Hustle booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Ear Hustle for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Ear Hustle booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Ear Hustle charge for an event. An example fee to book Ear Hustle is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Ear Hustle agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Ear Hustle manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Ear Hustle for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Ear Hustle agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Ear Hustle, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Ear Hustle booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Ear Hustle, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
