Life After Prison

with special guests Lord Dr Michael Hastings CBE, Corey White & Karim Douglas

London Podcast Festival

The multi-award-winning podcast, Life After Prison, hosted by Zak Addae-Kodua and Jules Rowan, comes to the London Podcast Festival. Special guests: Lord Dr Michael Hastings CBE, Corey White & Karim Douglas.


Life After Prison is an award-winning podcast created to support people leaving prison and their loved ones. Life After Prison platforms the stories of people who have spent time in jail and are now rebuilding their lives on the outside. It aims to de-stigmatise the prison experience, and change the conversation about prison and the people who have been there by sharing powerful stories of hope and change.

We’re excited to announce Lord Dr Michael Hastings CBE as one of the guests joining us on stage for our live podcast on Friday 11 September!

Lord Hastings has dedicated much of his career to crime reduction, prison rehabilitation and supporting disadvantaged communities. He is also the founder of Men of Purpose, a community built around mentorship, purpose and creating positive futures — including work supporting men within the prison system.

We’re looking forward to hearing more about his work, his experiences and his vision for rehabilitation and positive change.

Lord Hastings joins us with Corey and Karim, two men who have both spent time inside but are now doing great things on the outside.

Our amazing presenters Zak and Jules will be sticking around for a meet and greet after the show.

This event will last approximately 90 minutes, without an interval.

‘It encouraged me to tell members of my family that I have been to prison, people I was previously afraid to tell.’ LAP Listener

‘It’s made me think there’s always life after prison. I’ve been in pretty much since I was 11 and I thought I couldn’t get a job because of my offence, but it’s made me realise I could’ LAP Listener
