Lava for Good Partners with Edovo to Bring ‘Wrongful Conviction’ Podcast to over 1,000 Correctional Facilities Nationwide

Lava for Good, Adweek’s 2024 Podcast Network of the Year, and Edovo, a nonprofit leader in educational and rehabilitative programming for incarcerated individuals, are proud to announce a partnership to bring the Wrongful Conviction podcast to incarcerated audiences across the United States. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the shared mission to educate, empower, and inspire systemic change.

Under the arrangement, Lava for Good’s award-winning Wrongful Conviction podcast series will be available at no charge to Edovo’s 900,000+ incarcerated learners, ensuring those behind bars have access to critical narratives that foster hope, understanding, and personal growth.

Edovo’s digital platform, which serves more than 1,110+ correctional facilities nationwide, bridges the gap between incarcerated individuals and educational programming. By leveraging innovative technology and partnerships, Edovo is transforming the rehabilitative landscape within the corrections system.

Lava for Good’s Wrongful Conviction has been celebrated for its powerful storytelling and for its profound impact on individual cases, state laws, and policing practices. Accolades include recognition from the Anthem Awards, Signal Awards, iHeartPodcast Awards, and Webby Awards. Hosted by an extraordinary lineup of journalists and justice advocates — including Flom, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maggie Freleng, Emmy Award-winning writer Lauren Bright Pacheco, and formerly incarcerated individuals like Ear Hustle co-creator Earlonne Woods — the series spotlights the harrowing and inspiring stories of those wrongfully imprisoned, the systemic failures that led to their convictions and the heroic efforts of families, lawyers and supporters who fight tirelessly for justice.

“This partnership embodies Lava for Good’s mission to illuminate the profound injustices in our criminal legal system and empower listeners to become agents of change,” said Jason Flom, Lava for Good’s co-founder and CEO. “By bringing Wrongful Conviction directly to incarcerated individuals through Edovo, we’re helping to educate and inspire incarcerated learners on their journeys toward justice and redemption.”

“Wrongful Conviction offers an overlooked perspective on the complexities of the justice system, and we’re pleased to make these eye-opening stories available to incarcerated individuals nationwide, expanding access to voices and perspectives that foster understanding and progress,” said Brian Hill, Edovo’s founder and CEO. “At Edovo, we believe in the transformative power of education and storytelling. By providing access to diverse voices that are represented in Wrongful Conviction, we are helping incarcerated individuals better understand the system, find hope, and build the tools they need to create a brighter future.”

With this partnership, Lava for Good and Edovo reaffirm their commitment to social impact, leveraging the power of storytelling and education to drive meaningful change.
