Charles Grosso: Getting [it] Together

In this tenth podcast we meet Charlie Grosso, released last year after serving 40 years behind bars where he underwent a profound transformation of character. Charlie is now a full time student at John Jay College and an active member of Acting Out where he recently performed three roles in the December 2020 production of Inside Out. Charlie is currently employed at a homeless shelter in Albany, NY where he works hard to better the lives of America's most unfortunate. At the top of the podcast Charlie performs a brief and unflinchingly honest monologue from Clifford Odets' Rocket to the Moon and he closes with a poignant reading from Desiderata, a classic poem that inspired and sustained him during his long incarceration. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Surviving The System The Fringe FM Surviving The System is a podcast created to shed light on the hypocrisy and injustice of “the system” in our nation today. I founded this podcast after first hand experience of how the system works - the shady tactics by law enforcement, the blatant disregard for the law by the legal system, the ever increasing attempts to crush the human spirit by the prison industrial complex and so called “re-entry” efforts. All of it appearing to be designed to keep people beat down, with no opportunity to learn and grow from their past mistakes. Since my experience with the system, I’ve learned that things are almost never cut and dry, right or wrong. So called “criminals” are some of the most compassionate, talented and intelligent individuals this world has to offer. On the flip side, there are some people who appear to lead the perfect life are all too often miserable human beings who are simply better at hiding their crimes from the rest of the world. My goal by starting Surviving The System Prison Bag Rebecca Lloyd-Evans, Josie Bevan, Alan Hall Prison bag is a family story.As the cell door slams on Josie Bevan's husband, windows open to a community that was previously hidden in plain sight.One family's frank and unflinching confrontation with the prison system.
