Episode 30: The History of Alcatraz

It's our 30th episode, nerds!

In this special deep dive, join Casie and Sarah as they go behind bars and explore the history of the most infamous prison in America- Alcatraz! Don't let the length of this episode scare you (it's not a prison sentence after all). There's plenty of historical, dark, and eerie goodies to fill your ear holes and make you add The Rock to your bucket list. 

First, Casie gets us through the early founding and history of the island and tracks its development from a military outpost, to military prison, to federal prison. Learn about The Hole, The Pelicans, and The Children That Lived On Alcatraz?? Then Sarah takes us through the incredible Native American Occupation of the island before helping us break down an escape conspiracy theory and some spooky ghost stories!

Listen in and feel free to count how many times your favorite nerds say the words "Azkaban" and "manifest destiny." You don't want to miss this deep dive- Episode 30: The History of Alcatraz!
