Inside out: The Two Norries record a groundbreaking new podcast series in Irish prisons

The award-winning podcasters, both former prisoners, were given an unprecedented opportunity to visit three Irish jails to meet and talk to inmates

'Going into Limerick prison to meet Geraldine Sutton, our first interviewee, was a full circle moment for us.' James Leonard and Timmy Long with Geraldine Sutton in Limerick prison. 

Being back in prison for the first time since serving a custodial sentence was “nerve-wracking and weird, but exciting,” for James Leonard, one half of the hugely popular Two Norries Podcast. 

“Me and Timmy [Long] both have a background of addiction and prison stints before we got into recovery, so to be invited back in to interview prisoners for our podcast — something that’s never been done before — was fairly mad,” the Cork northsider reflected.
