Show Notes

How many prison pen pals is too many? Is it okay to write to more than one person? What about 10? Is 100 too many?

In this first Quick Hit episode of the Prison Pen Pal Podcast, Big Steve shares his perspective based on more than a decade of experience as a pen pal and years of running PenPals.Buzz, one of the largest prison pen pal websites.

Steve explores what happens when a friendship with a pen pal turns romantic, what it might tell you when a pen pal insists that you write only to them, and why limiting yourself to just one pen pal could mean you're missing out on some great connections.

Quick Hit is our new series of short, under-10-minute episodes packed with valuable prison pen pal information, observations, and advice—delivered in a fun, entertaining, and condensed format.

Listen while you're getting ready for work, brushing your teeth, driving home, or anytime you have a few minutes to spare!

Welcome to Quick Hit.
