In jail he's been beaten, defended, neglected, befriended, and abused, but he's never been abandoned—we visit him every week. For six months, his lawyers have been saying he'll be out any day now. We're making this podcast to tell his story and ours.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crossing-the-line-detained-in-mexico-7848322"},"episode":{"title":"Siblings Chat: How We Get Money and Clothing to Todd in Prison","slug":"4-how-we-get-money-and-clothing-to-todd-in-prison-siblings-chat","published_at":"2026-05-16T04:23:14+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crossing-the-line-detained-in-mexico-7848322/4-how-we-get-money-and-clothing-to-todd-in-prison-siblings-chat","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crossing-the-line-detained-in-mexico-7848322","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/67904d52","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/67904d52/aa9e97a8.mp3","summary":"First, Becky and Randi discuss Todd's most recent hearing, in which his judge denied him bail even though she had no legal ability to do so.
