Eastern State Penitentiary
Description
Happy one year anniversary! We can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we were in the very literal closet! While not sure what that looks like or means for our podcast (as in doing well or not) WE ARE SO HAPPY! It’s something to celebrate. While you’re popping your champagne with us, prepare for some gloom and doom. Today we’re talking about Eastern State Penitentiary. It ain’t pretty.
