The Tales We Tell
A podcast about spooky stories, unsolved mysteries, and local lore. Join Hannah, Katy, and Jarek as they mask anxiety with humor, and explore the dark, macabre, and downright creepy side of life, with a different story each week.
The Tales We Tell
Ep. 181: Escape from Alcatraz, Pt. 2
We lied about this only be two-parts: this week, since Hannah can't stop falling down Alcatraz rabbit holes, she tells Katy more about the deplorable conditions of the prison, including arbitrary rules, the Dungeon, unlawful physical assaults, and a murder trial that highlighted it all for a brief moment in history. The girls get a little ranty in this one (it is prison-reform, after all), go a bit deeper into the criminal backgrounds of a few inmates, and plan a potential future trip to the Rock itself. Hannah promises to cover the original Morris/Anglin escape in next week's episode.
So pour a nice glass of pruno, and get ready to never trust authority again. We hope you enjoy this week's episode!
