About Suave
Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Audio Reporting The U.S is the only country in the world that allows minors to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Approximately 2,500 juveniles have been effectively sentenced to die in prison — considered “irredeemable” by the state for crimes committed when they were just teenagers. One of them was David Luis “Suave” Gonzalez, who entered prison at 17 expecting to leave in a coffin. Suave tells the story of what happens when your whole world is a prison cell, and you suddenly get a second chance at life. It’s the story of one man’s incarceration and redemption and an unusual relationship between a journalist and a source. Selected as an Apple Podcasts Series Essential. Hosted on Acast.

NEW PODCAST ALERT: Reaching Out
Published 23 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It was not cool to still feel hurt about it, and so you could choose to feel nothing. Whether or not you truly believed that was beside the point. Writing it down, recording it, would remind you. And remembering it would make it true. Biology may connect us, but I'm a product of so much more than that. The decisions I make, the family and friends I choose to keep around me, those are the things that make me who I am. So for me, the new year means deleting those old numbers from my phone and spending more time searching not for my dad, but for myself. Again, a little over-precise. Maybe even a little cliche. […]
