“In this week’s episode, Flightless Bird explores incarcerated firefighters, talking to former inmate Matthew Hahn who signed up to fight fires when he was serving time. Hahn brings his lived experience to this episode, talking about his time inside and his rehabilitation and road to recovery. The episode takes a turn when we discover what led Matt to this prison term – and how he got out early.” – from the Flightless Bird website


Trigger warning: this episode is very much adults only. As many of you may know, part of my prison story involves the discovery of childhood abuse and that is discussed in this episode.

Flightless Bird can be viewed on Youtube and listened to wherever you get your podcasts.
