Inside prison cell with inmate sitting on a bed.

Frankie & The Ex-Con Podcast

Frankie Boyer, longtime radio personality, has teamed up with GC Brown, a longtime federal inmate, turned award-winning novelist. Together, with two vastly different sets of life experiences, they tackle the “sticky” things most people don’t want to touch. Nothing’s off the table. It’s the naked truth about injustices, government overreach, unfair sentences, everyday life, and everything in between. It’s stories about dirty cops, prison gangs, riots, sex, drugs, and lives shattered in the wake of it all.

Frankie and the Ex-Con: The Naked Truth you Deserve to Know

Season 1: Episode 1 Description:
From Diamonds to Dirt: GC Brown’s War with the System

He was a self-made entrepreneur chasing the American dream — until the system decided to bury him.

In this explosive first episode of Frankie & The X-Con, GC Brown rips the lid off his journey from high-stakes real estate deals and the cutthroat African diamond trade… straight into the jaws of a crooked justice machine that chewed him up and tried to spit him out forgotten.

This isn’t your typical redemption story. It’s the brutal truth about how one wrong move — or just being in the wrong place with the wrong skin — can put you on the government’s hit list. GC exposes the backroom deals, forced plea bargains, and flat-out lies that turned a successful businessman into a federal inmate.

From inside the prison walls, he watched the system fail over and over again: no rehabilitation, just warehousing. No justice, just quotas. He talks mental warfare, survival, and what it really takes to rebuild a life the system tried to erase.
