Number 1: S5, E4 - Unexpected Family
Family can mean a lot of different things. It can be the people we grew up with or the community we choose to keep close. Sometimes, we find family in unexpected places. In this episode, our producers discover long-lost relatives, learn about siblings they didn’t know they had, and even meet family members who surprisingly came back into their lives.

Number 2: Uncuffed Presents: Concrete Mama
Uncuffed is excited to present an episode from our friends at Concrete Mama, a prison podcast from Unincarcerated Productions inside the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla. Concrete Mama just wrapped up their second season, and they’ve done episodes on everything from solitary confinement to foster care, to restorative justice. This episode, called "One Day At A Time," is all about addiction and recovery. And when you listen, it doesn’t feel like you’re hearing a podcast from the outside looking in. It feels like you’re pulling up a chair and sitting right in the middle of a recovery meeting. You can find Unincarcerated Productions on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and by email at [email protected]. Uncuffed will be back with new episodes on September 23rd.

Number 3: S5, E3 - Dance Dance Revolution
The saying tells us that we should “dance like no-one is watching.” That’s easier said than done in prison, where lots of people are watching and many of them are judging. In this episode, we’re talking about it anyway. We’re breaking it down, busting a move, cutting a rug; we’ll hear stories about how dancing in prison can be a bridge between cultures or a way to connect with your kids. Dancing can break your heart, or it could even save your life. Learn more, sign up for Uncuffed news, and support the program at www.uncuffed.org.
