We’re back after Christmas break with the conclusion to the story of Catherine the Great. How did she get so great? Was she actually great? Why are so many people “the Great”? I don’t know. Listen to find out if we answer any of those questions! *Note: We did almost the entire episode and realized we weren’t recording...soooooo yeah, hahahaha.

2. Eastern State Penitentiary
This week Shannon talks about the History of the Eastern State Penitentiary. It’s considered one of the most haunted buildings in America! Note: There is some cursing in this podcast as well as info about torture that took place within the prison. It’s not a lot but I just thought we should put out a warning. Especially because I’m not sure how to make sure an episode has an explicit label!—————————————————————————Sources: https://www.easternstate.org/research/history-eastern-state/biographies https://www.easternstate.org/notable-inmates
