Imagine Justice
by Zeo Boekbinder
What does justice look like, beyond the confines of State-administered carceral punishment? In Imagine Justice we hear true stories, told by the people who lived them, of irreparable harm followed by reconciliation. These stories invite us into the possibility- and reality- of a justice that is co-created by victims, perpetrators, and survivors of violence and their communities. Each of our storytellers navigates toward peace differently, but they all give us insights that can transform the way we think about and approach justice. Imagine Justice is created by musician, songwriter, and artist Zeo Boekbinder, whose interest in exploring processes of Transformative and Restorative Justice is informed by their time teaching and writing songs alongside incarcerated men at New Folsom Prison, which culminated in the creation of The Prison Music Project.To submit a story for a future episode, visit https://zeo

S2:E4 Dr. Angela F***ING Davis
I’m still pinching myself that I got to interview Dr. Angela Y Davis. What an incredible honor. This interview originally aired back in 2020 when I was part of a collective called the Prison Music Project and we were releasing an album of songs written by and with men who were incarcerated, called Long Time Gone (on all the streaming apps). So much of what Dr. Davis says in the interview is still (or even more) relevant in 2026. We are blessed to have her in our timeline.To find a list of her books, visit her page on GoodReadsFun bonus fact: I transitioned to veganism in early 2025 and very shortly after that, I learned that Dr. Angela Davis is a long-time vegan. No exploitation for anyone. (It’s ok if you’re not vegan yet… I was there too, once.)If you’d like to support the making of this podcast, please leave a rating and a review and, if you’re able, subscribe on Patreon.
