‘The Logic of Psychology’ 2nd Edition Unveils a Bold New Framework for Understanding the Human Mind

Peter McQuaig Redefines Psychology with Groundbreaking Insights in Updated 2nd Edition

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition; ISBN: 978-1779625847; released by Tellwell Publishing) by Peter McQuaig is now available, delivering a bold new framework for understanding human psychology and its place within science. With renewed clarity and expanded insights, this updated edition repositions psychology as a discipline with its own inherent logic – giving it a unity, power, and articulation of a renewed, more befitting relationship to physical science.

Image caption: Cover, “The Logic of Psychology” 2nd Edition.

While psychology has often been viewed as a fractured field—its theories and schools of thought seemingly at odds—McQuaig shows us how this fragmentation is not inevitable. Instead, he identifies a critical oversight in classical rationality: the absence of a logic specifically applicable to psychological subject matter. His work reveals that this not only exists, but could transform psychology into a science that has a power parallel to, yet very different than, that of physics.

“Psychology has its own logic and rationality, and this is now made explicit,” says McQuaig. “With its universality and depth, this logic facilitates insight and offers a satisfying, well-founded understanding of self and world.”

The new edition of “The Logic of Psychology” expands on the original with refined explanations, broader applications, and a deeper dive into the philosophical and scientific implications of this novel framework. It speaks not only to psychologists and philosophers, but to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of human nature, cognition, and behavior.

“The Logic of Psychology is not limited in its scope to psychology proper, but has important lessons for diverse subject areas, for example, cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy. This is a ground-breaking work and a must-read for academic and layperson alike.”
— Brian Baigrie, Professor of Philosophy and author of Scientific Revolutions

“McQuaig’s conception is powerful.”
— David Bakan, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and author of The Duality of Human Existence

“Once you grasp [this], it changes everything.”
— Keiller Mackay

Peter McQuaig is a past president of the McQuaig Institute, a leading psychological consulting firm in Canada. A graduate of the University of Toronto in psychology, McQuaig has led the development of cutting-edge psychological assessments and has long studied the intersections of physical science, social science, and philosophy. “The Logic of Psychology” reflects decades of inquiry and offers essential insight for scientists, thinkers, and everyday readers alike.

“The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition) is available now in print and digital formats through Amazon and other major retailers.

New book, ‘Whispers from the Shadow,’ spotlights suicide’s silent struggle: A psychologist’s battle with his own shadow

'Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide' by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault, blends memoir, facts, philosophical perspectives and a powerful call to action during suicide prevention month in September

TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if the very voice that drove you to save others was the same one urging you toward the edge? Icy Peaks Publishing is proud to announce the release of “Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide” (ISBN: 978-1069171009) by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault. Dr. Frigault holds a doctorate in psychology and breaks decades of silence to share a most personal and haunting story – his own. His work is especially timely with September marking National Suicide Prevention Month and World Suicide Prevention Day observed on September 10.

Image Caption: Front Book Cover, “Whispers from the Shadow,” by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault.

For more than 50 years, Dr. Frigault guided others out of the darkness. He helped them to face personal mental health struggles and to overcome thoughts of suicide. In this book, he reveals the painful truth behind his life’s work: he, too, was battling an inner voice – born from the devastating loss of his older brother to suicide at a young age — that beckoned him toward the same fate.

This deeply moving and eye-opening book is more than a memoir. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and rise. Dr. Frigault takes readers on a journey through grief, resilience and renewal. He offers powerful insight into suicide’s emotional, historical and philosophical roots. He draws from personal experience and clinical expertise, and dispels harmful myths, illuminates warning signs and encourages life-saving dialogue.

As suicide rates continue to climb (53,000+ lives were lost to suicide in North America in 2023), Dr. Frigault’s message is more urgent than ever. He is available for interviews to discuss his book, suicide prevention efforts, and to share how anyone can better equip themselves to recognize and respond to silent suffering.

Icy Peaks Publishing invites media outlets to join in raising awareness by featuring “Whispers from the Shadow” in upcoming stories. Review copies are available upon request, and “Whispers from the Shadow” is now available in paperback and eBook formats through Amazon.

Gerald Mackrell Explores Life’s Ultimate Questions in New Book ‘Know, Trust, Abandon’

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, Jan. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Gerald Mackrell, a lifelong seeker of spiritual truth, invites readers on a deeply personal journey of faith, reflection, and exploration in his latest book, “Know, Trust, Abandon” (ISBN: 978-1779623188).

Image caption: “Know, Trust, Abandon” by Gerald Mackrell.

Mackrell’s thought-provoking work delves into humanity’s perennial question: “Is there any meaning to life, or am I merely part of an elaborate accident that occurred millions of years ago?” While science offers a plausible framework with theories like the Big Bang, Mackrell probes deeper, addressing the spiritual dimensions that science often leaves untouched.

With the curiosity of an aging Christian and the reflective wisdom of years, he examines lingering doubts and faith teachings to uncover profound insights into life’s physical and spiritual realms.

A machine tool fitter by trade, Mackrell spent much of his life working in the steel industry. After retiring, he turned to writing as a form of personal exploration and expression. His debut book, published in 2008, marked the beginning of a literary journey that continued with contributions to his church bulletin. Now, with “Know, Trust, Abandon,” Mackrell shares his deeply personal reflections and discoveries with a broader audience.

In “Know, Trust, Abandon,” Mackrell offers readers a heartfelt narrative that combines philosophical inquiry with Christian teachings. His honest and approachable style encourages readers to contemplate their beliefs and the mysteries of existence. From reflecting on the past to navigating the complexities of faith, this book provides a unique perspective for those seeking deeper meaning.

Through reflections, Mackrell wrestles with the contrast between the scientific explanation of life and the spiritual. He examines the wonder of the cosmos, the precision of life-sustaining conditions on Earth, and humanity’s unique intellectual and creative abilities. He invites readers to ponder the origins of life and the possible purpose behind existence, weaving these reflections into a compelling narrative of faith and curiosity.

“Know, Trust, Abandon” is now out through Tellwell Publishing and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Woman, 49, Unveils Bold Holistic Blueprint for How She Plans on Becoming a Verified Guinness World Record Holder in Longevity

TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — At 49, “Smile,” affectionately known online as “The Smile Enthusiast,” unveils her groundbreaking longevity textbook, “#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle” (ISBN: 978-0228889540; released by Tellwell Publishing in November 2024). This inspiring work outlines her bold, holistic approach and detailed blueprint for achieving extraordinary health and longevity.

Image caption: Cover, “#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle.”

With a vision extending to the year 2097 (and beyond), Smile is on a mission to live a life rooted in grassroots traditions—embracing the practices of our ancestors from over 150 years ago, before the advent of supplements, pharmaceuticals, or biohacking technologies. By living intentionally, mindfully, and healthfully, she aims to prove that a lifestyle built on natural, time-honored principles can lead her to claim the Guinness World Record for (verified) Oldest Person Ever.

Drawing on a decade of self-study in plant medicine and her personal journey of overcoming chronic illness, addiction, and other hardships, Smile shares the holistic tools and herbal recipes she used to reverse a lifetime of chronic symptoms without pharmaceuticals and without a supplement-heavy approach. She details the nutrients she believes are key to her longevity goals and provides readers with numerous plant food sources where these nutrients can be found. Smile also offers insight into how she rewired her brain to ensure that stress no longer becomes a burden that hinders her daily life. This textbook includes countless recipes for the foods and drinks she consumes, her fasting practices, kitchen tips, and her zero-waste strategies—including repurposing juice pulp into Herbal Hot Toddies (holistic healing beverages)—and SO MUCH MORE!

Readers will learn techniques for growing sprouts and microgreens, which Smile calls her “secret weapon” for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Additionally, with the support of her co-author, Jenny Diehl, BCHN, this textbook introduces the revolutionary Platinum Standard Guide to Ingredients. This guide highlights over 3,000 ingredients, many of which are found in so-called “organic” products we use on and in our bodies, as well as in our homes. It challenges blind trust in regulatory agencies, which can sometimes mislead the public due to undue influence from large corporations with vested interests.

WHAT IS #FUTURECENTURIONLIFE?

Rejecting the fragile connotations of “centenarian,” Smile embraces the term “centurion,” symbolizing leadership, resilience, and stamina. With a focus on whole plant foods, unadulterated medicinal herbs, and her unique “keys to longevity,” Smile offers a roadmap to living joyfully and vibrantly.

Her comprehensive 712-page user-friendly interactive longevity textbook invites readers to create a healthier, more vibrant self without relying on supplements, tinctures, or pharmaceuticals. Smile shares practical tools, strategies, personal stories, and detailed how-to guides about everything she eats, drinks, and thinks. Her wealth of knowledge on plant medicine inspires readers to explore Mother Nature’s medicine as sustainable wellness tools for achieving one’s best, longest life.

“Longevity is about more than just adding years to your life; it’s about adding life to your years,” Smile explains. “Whether you choose to walk this path with me or watch from the sidelines, I hope my story empowers you to navigate the overwhelming flood of health information we’re bombarded with; a chaotic landscape of contradictory opinions, advice, and information. My goal is to encourage you to stay grounded, find clarity and calm amidst the noise, and forge your own path to stress-free living, a balanced mind, and an abundance of strength and vitality – unlocking a level of health so extraordinary it redefines what you believe is possible for the body, mind, and soul.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Smile Enthusiast is a passionate advocate for plant medicine and a champion of the human spirit. Known for her motivational and empowering presence, she inspires women worldwide to take control of their health and embrace graceful aging through accountability, consistency, discernment, and critical thinking.

Having overcome profound challenges – including addiction and chronic health issues – Smile is a living testament to the power of the lifestyle she has built, as a proud retro human. She invites others to reclaim their health and discover the incredible potential of the human body when it is provided with the tools it truly needs to thrive, not just survive.

New Historical Fiction Novel Delves Into the Brutality of Impressment in 18th and 19th Century England

TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. 10, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Independent author W Blair Doman releases a gripping historical fiction novel, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” (ISBN: 978-0228815914), released by Tellwell Publishing. The book sheds light on the lives disrupted by England’s practice of impressment – the forced recruitment of men and boys for naval service – during the 1700s and 1800s. This novel offers a poignant look at the human cost of war and the plight of those who endured it unwillingly.

Image caption: Cover, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force.”

For over a century, England manned its warships by forcibly impressing common men, often from impoverished areas, and sending them to sea under brutal conditions. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” captures the harsh reality faced by two families whose lives were upended by the press gangs – roving groups authorized by the king to seize civilians for naval service. Doman weaves a narrative of hardship, loss, and survival, depicting the intertwined fates of Mona Froud and Maria Duncan, two women left behind to navigate life without their loved ones.

“When I began writing, I wanted to tell the story of the common people who had no choice in the matter,” said W Blair Doman. “The book highlights the struggles of those taken against their will, with no concern for the families they left behind. It’s a story of resilience in the face of government-sanctioned injustice.”

A STORY OF LOSS, LOVE, AND ENDURANCE

In the novel, readers follow Mona, whose husband, Ned, was taken by the press gangs, leaving her to raise their children alone. Fifteen years later, she still does not know if he is alive or dead. Meanwhile, young lovers Maria Duncan and Will Ryketts see their future shattered when Will is taken during a tavern raid. Their stories intersect as the two women struggle to survive and protect their families while hoping for a reunion that may never come.

An excerpt from “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” provides a glimpse into the world of 1819 England, where love and hope are overshadowed by the realities of a nation at war. The narrative captures the emotional turmoil of the characters as they navigate life without certainty or support.

W Blair Doman embarked on the path of self-publishing with the encouragement of friends and family who believed in the importance of the story. The author credits their support as the driving force behind bringing the book to print.

“I was encouraged to pursue self-publishing by those closest to me,” Doman added. “Their belief in the story and the message it carries inspired me to share it with a broader audience.”

W Blair Doman brings history to life with a passion for storytelling that reflects on the human experience. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” marks a significant step in sharing lesser-known historical realities through a deeply personal narrative lens. With a dedication to accuracy and emotional depth, Doman aims to provide a voice to those who endured forced recruitment and the families who suffered in silence.

“Pressed: Recruitment by Force” is available now in paperback and eBook formats on major online platforms.

Groundbreaking Verde Group White Paper Exposes Why CX Investments Often Fail

TORONTO, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- The Verde Group, a leader in customer experience insights, is proud to announce the release of its latest white paper, "The Great CX Challenge: Linking Customer Experience Insights to Business Outcomes," authored by Executive V.P., Dennis Armbruster. This comprehensive study addresses the critical disconnect between significant investments in customer experience (CX) solutions and the resulting business outcomes.

As the customer experience industry continues to grow at a robust pace - projected to reach $120 billion by 2026 according to Yahoo Finance - the need for effective and actionable CX insights has never been more pressing. Despite the surge in investment and priority given by executive leadership, many organizations are facing persistent frustration and sub-optimal results.

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE WHITE PAPER:

The Disconnect: While 80% of businesses prioritize improving their CX, only 6% have seen a significant increase in performance, and over half of customers report a decline in service quality over the past year.

Legacy Methods Falling Short: Traditional CX research methods and beacon metrics often fail to correlate directly with changes in customer behaviors and financial performance, leading to organizational leadership dismissing the value of CX insights.

The E-A-B Model: The Verde Group introduces the E-A-B (Experiences, Attitude, Behavior) model as a solution to traditional CX measurement pitfalls. By focusing on customer experiences rather than attitudes, businesses can better understand the financial impact specific CX friction points have on customer behavior.

Revenue@Risk® Analysis: The white paper highlights the patent-pending Revenue@Risk® methodology, an advanced analytical approach developed by the Verde Group that links CX friction points directly to customer behaviors and financial opportunity. It also produces a new and financially correlated beacon metric that has proven to align with changes in business financials.

Dennis Armbruster, author of the white paper, stated: "The key to transforming customer experience insights into actionable business results lies in moving beyond outdated measurement methods. By focusing on the specific experiences that drive negative market action and financial risk, businesses can elevate the value of their CX insights in driving topline growth and profitability."

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Investment Gaps: Many companies are not fully utilizing CX insights to guide strategic decisions, often due to a lack of connection between insights and financial performance.

New Methodologies: The E-A-B model and Revenue@Risk® methodology offer a more precise approach to understanding and addressing CX issues.

Strategic Impact: Leveraging advanced metrics can help businesses not only drive positive shifts in customer behavior but also meaningful financial growth.

The white paper underscores the necessity for businesses to reassess their CX measurement strategies and adopt more effective approaches to achieve tangible improvements in their businesses.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Continental Cavalcade Reaches Out With Help at the Canadian National Exhibition

TORONTO, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- The 75th anniversary of the Canadian Air Show at the Canadian National Exhibition was a perfect opportunity to showcase the humanitarian activities of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who developed the Volunteer Ministers program, was himself a pioneer at the dawn of American aviation, known as "Flash Hubbard" for his aerial achievements.

Distinguished Toastmaster and community activist Azhar Khan carried the metaphor forward by comparing the Volunteer Ministers program to the stunning aerial display: Just as these jets break the sound barrier, Volunteer Ministers break the barriers to a happy, successful life, he said.

Uche Okugo, founder and president of the Network of Nigerians in Canada and member of the Brampton Mayor's Black Advisory Council, spoke of his partnership with the Volunteer Ministers. He explained that by using the tools of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, he has been able to greatly expand his help to orient immigrants and assist them to succeed, often under difficult circumstances, in their new country.

"Life can be very challenging," said Scientology Volunteer Ministers spokesperson Cyndie Clourie. "Many of us experience ups and downs as we navigate toward prosperity and happiness. But unlike the supersonic jet pilot, who is trained to perfection in his craft, we frequently find ourselves in the cockpit of life without a manual or map, trying to avoid the downdrafts and struggling to keep ourselves from heading into a nosedive. Scientology Volunteer Ministers provide tools for life that put you in control in the pilot's seat."

These life skills include the technology of study to help people learn skills so they can achieve their full potential. They help increase their ability to deal with turbulent circumstances. Using these tools, people can discover the underlying cause of quarrels and conflicts and resolve them.

Visitors also learned of the disaster relief work done internationally by Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Guests were invited to attend seminars at the pavilion or to log onto the Volunteer Ministers website to enroll on free online Scientology Tools for Life courses.

Whether it's helping a neighbor or friend with a personal or family difficulty or answering the call of a nation on the other side of the world after a tragic disaster, the motto of the Volunteer Minister is "Something Can Be Done About It."

Youth for Human Rights Petitions the Ontario Legislative Assembly To Require Human Rights Education Throughout the Province

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- "Despite Canada's public image as a human rights promoter," Nicole Crellin realized, "there were human rights violations hidden under the social veneer." That's why she took on being the director of United for Human Rights Canada. Crellin, who is featured in an episode of Voices for Humanity that premieres on the Scientology Network Wednesday, June 5, says, "As a teacher, I saw that human rights education was the only weapon that one could use to really raise awareness. Only in that way can we have a society where there's peace and tolerance that exists for everyone."

Crellin led a delegation in May to present a petition to the Ontario Legislative Assembly. The volunteers, members of Youth for Human Rights, the United for Human Rights program for young people, had collected thousands of signatures on a petition calling for mandatory human rights education throughout the province.

The Association for Canadian Studies released a survey in December 2023, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The survey found only 32 percent of respondents ages 18 to 34 agreed with the statement: "Everyone is born with an equal opportunity to succeed in Canada."

According to Human Rights Watch, among the most pressing violations of human rights in Canada are:

* Systemic discrimination against Indigenous peoples

* Violence against Indigenous women

* Mistreatment and detention of those seeking refugee protection in Canada

* Failure to exercise meaningful oversight of Canadian extractive companies operating abroad

To this, another online resource serving professions in the human rights sector adds:

* Religious freedom and tolerance, citing the Supreme Court of Canada's refusal to review Quebec's controversial Bill 21 that bans civil servants, teachers and police officers in Quebec from wearing religious symbols when providing or receiving government services.

For more than a decade, Crellin has spearheaded the campaign to educate millions across the nation using educational materials produced by United for Human Rights. United for Human Rights is a nonprofit, international education program sponsored by the Church of Scientology and Scientologists worldwide. Its aim is to create a sea change by teaching young people everywhere their inalienable rights, thus creating a generation of leaders who will demand full implementation of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

United for Human Rights is inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

JOEY AND HIS FRIEND WATER: A playful book introducing children and their parents to the idea that everything around us is energy vibrating at different speeds

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- In Ellen J. Lewinberg's current picture book, "Joey and His Friend Water" (ISBN: 978-0228881698; May 2023), Joey, the main character in the book, finds that he is able to talk to the water in a stream behind his house. Joey finds it hard to believe that he is talking to and learning from Water, and keeps checking the ideas that Water is presenting to him.

"Joey and His Friend Water" introduces children and their parents to the idea that everything around us from people, to plants, to trees, to rocks, is energy vibrating at different speeds. And, in this way, everything in the universe is connected. The importance of the water cycle, mycelium and trees in healing the earth is talked about alongside Maseru Imoto's work on water and the idea that the way in which water reacts to words and emotions has implications for our bodies and our environment. The importance of trees in our environment is stressed and also provides hope for Joey and his friends to do something to help the earth.

Author Ellen J. Lewinberg holds a master's degree in social work and is a trained child and adult psychoanalyst. She worked as a psychoanalyst for many years until a health issue introduced her to energy healing. She was excited by the potential of energy healing, so she trained and currently works as an energy healer.

Ellen realized that young children experience a connection to energy and the unseen, but forget this knowledge as they grow older. She wanted to remind both older children and adults how important it is for themselves and the world around them to remember the connections.

"I am a bioenergy healer and have always been interested in alternative healing, farming and shamanism. I am an avid reader and in recent years have come across more and more information about water and its ability to communicate and respond to our questions and emotions.

"I work with unseen energies in the environment and in people. I know that young children see and hear much that is unseen. Many of them see auras and nature spirits. I want to remind children of all ages that everything is alive and everything is connected, and just because we cannot see something with our eyes does not mean it does not exist and is not important. Imagination is also crucial to our survival.

"I feel it is very important to our survival and that of the earth to remember that the unseen exists and is as important, if not more important, than the seen objective world.

"My hope with this book is to rekindle children's imaginations and to have them understand that everything is connected. One's actions in one area have an effect on every other area. And our imaginations play a vital role in coming up with new solutions to solve our problems here on earth. Trees are crucial in our lives and play an important part in our world. They not only capture carbon, but also provide healing. The Forest Bathing movement from Japan has provided enormous amounts of evidence for this. I wanted children to understand this. They are the adults of tomorrow and will be the ones left with the mess we have made. Some of the solutions are easy if one can only implement them."

"Joey and His Friend Water," Ellen's first picture book, was released in 2023.

A Deadly Foe Is On The Horizon, But Krell’s Past May Be Deadlier – Fantasy Author Releases Riveting Sequel Of Paladins And Gods

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- A fantastical story set in a world where paladins are heroes and the champions of the gods finds itself in the shadow of a looming threat. Their only choice? To rely on the services of an uneducated, incapable and stubborn paladin named Krell, whose adventures we follow again in the fantasy novel "Futility of Defense" (ISBN: 978-0228892243; July, 2023) by Bryan Cole, the second book in the "A Paladin's Journey" series.

A new release, "Futility of Defense," is set in a world where paladins are nothing but trouble and stories about paladins are everywhere. When Krell, an uneducated nobody with a stubborn streak as wide as the sea, hears the call from ReckNor, the capricious god of the seas and skies, the attention of the rich and powerful turn their gaze toward him. Paladins are notorious for upsetting the balance of power, to the detriment of any who don't worship their deity.

When Krell stands against the might of the sea devils and emerges victorious, concern and interest turn to fear-fear of their secrets and plans being revealed and exposed, of the ruin that often follows in a paladin's wake. Now he stands in defense of a pitiful town at the edge of nowhere, even as the sea devil menace grows more dire for each day that passes. For as deadly as the sea devils are to Krell, his past choices and the consequences of his actions may be deadlier still . . .

"A Paladin's Journey" is a series that's perfect for fans of "Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones." Readers of the first book have said it is "...a promising start to a series that high-fantasy fans will enjoy" and had an ending that "kept me hanging on for more...."

BRYAN COLE is an avid reader and has loved the fantasy genre since he was a child. His love of stories of mighty knights, terrible dragons, and noble steeds has inspired him for decades. Find out more at https://www.fatpaladin.ca/.

"Futility of Defense" is available through Tellwell Publishing, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Book Depository, Booktopia, Indigo and other online book sellers.

‘Prison Audio’ Multimedia Production Company Gives A Voice To The Incarcerated Worldwide

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- Being incarcerated is a world of its own that a lot of people don't know anything about. Have you ever really wondered what happens inside these facilities with the incarcerated? And what transpired in their lives for them to end up incarcerated? Founded in 2022, by William Michael Tweedy, Prison Audio is a multimedia production company that produces many prison related podcasts, which help develop and teach an incarcerated individual the ability to write and tell first person stories to the outside world.

"We work with current and formerly incarcerated men as well as women in order to get their stories shared with the public because we feel it will help change the narrative in regards to how the public views incarcerated individuals," William Tweedy said.

"Also, it will give anyone in the outside world who listens a chance to learn what goes on in prison, whether it may be good or bad," he said.

Since being founded in 2022, William has launched several podcasts and additionally have more in the pre production stages.

"We have an ongoing podcast called 'Crash: Luis Miguel Salinas Story,' which dives into LAPD's Rampart scandal as well as Luis' personal life story," William said.

Luis is serving a life sentence for an attempted murder he did not do, "So this podcast was created to spread his message and share the Rampart scandal story as it's still sadly affecting a lot of families today," William said.

"Crazy Prison Stories" is where an incarcerated person tells a story about life inside prison.

"This podcast gives real and detailed accounts of the reality of prison and what happens in these environments on a daily basis whether the stories are funny, serious, scary, sad, or transformative.

"Also, they can speak about 'Prison Rules' they live by daily. These are not infractions that the prison itself may give out, but the code of jailing. And we give them the opportunity to promote their personal projects on their episode," William added.

Then they have the "Voiceless Behind Bars" podcast with Sarah DeArmond, who also runs a nonprofit called Voiceless Behind Bars. "I do interview family and friends at times, but my main focus is on the cases of Timothy Mcgruder and Efren Medina, who are both currently fighting wrongful convictions," Sarah said.

Lastly, they have the "BCFM (Brick City Face Mask), the Dawan Ingram Story" podcast that was just created in January 2023 by Dawan Ingram and William Tweedy.

"We get the chance to tell Dawan's story and show how bad gun violence was in New Jersey in 2013. Most people can't understand why someone would get charged with a shooting if they did not do it, but this is what happened to Dawan," William said.

"If we can show how common shootings were, then we can show how it's possible to be falsely accused and that's one of our main goals," Dawan said.

They believe if they can show how growing up in an area full of gun violence affected Dawan that more people will be more inclined to him (and others) receiving a second chance in life to be released.

Prison Audio is giving the world an inside look into the lives of the incarcerated in various ways, which are authentic and raw.

"The more people that listen to any of these podcasts, it will help shed a light on the incarcerated population in so many ways and that's our purpose. These men and women are still human beings no matter how they ended up incarcerated. We're giving the public ways to at least hear them out and listen to their stories," William said.

Prison Audio podcasts are available on all major streaming platforms, including YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, and Google podcast.

Being incarcerated is a world of its own that a lot of people don't know anything about. Founded in 2022, by William Michael Tweedy, Prison Audio is a multimedia production company that produces many prison related podcasts, which help develop and teach an incarcerated individual the ability to write and tell first person stories to the outside world.
