	~~## Overview~~		== History ==
			The podcast launched in 2021, at a time when stories of justice-involved individuals were gaining broader attention. From its inception, it focused on bringing depth and authenticity to the conversation: life before prison, life inside, and life after release. By late 2025 the show had produced over 200 episodes and entered its fifth season.<ref name="PodcastStats">Rephonic. “Nightmare Success In and Out – Audience & Stats.” https://rephonic.com/podcasts/nightmare-success-in-and-out</ref> Over those years it grew from a niche-justice audience into one of the most trusted platforms for understanding incarceration, redemption and second chances.
