William Peck On Life After Angola & 2nd Line BBQ Rigs (rerun episode 67.1)

William Peck joined the show to talk about his welding craftsmanship on  2nd Line BBQ Rigs, as well as Deep Fried Ribs, the latter which he picked up on during his 21-year incarceration at Angola prison.  He talked about issues facing formerly incarcerated citizens, and ‘Post-Incarceration Syndrome’. We discuss the importance of education and the challenges to find and retain employment ‘on the outside’.

This episode was recorded in August 2017, not long after William was released from  Angola. This past December, he was King of the Big 9 SAPC Second Line, and warmly reached out to us to see if we could do a remote podcast recording from the Friday night pre-2nd Line Big 9 celebration.  Such a sweet and thoughtful guy.
