Hooked
When Tony Hathaway was arrested outside a Seattle bank in February 2014, it brought an end to one of the most prolific bank robbery streaks in American history. Hathaway robbed 30 banks in a single year, all within a 30-mile radius of his suburban home. But that’s not the most surprising part of this story. Before Hathaway was a masterful bank robber—a shape-shifting professional who confounded multiple police departments and the FBI—he was a top design engineer at Boeing, one of America’s most important companies. Hathaway traveled the world in business class, working on the 747, while hiding a gigantic secret: an OxyContin addiction that ultimately unraveled his life. Based on three years of conversations between Hathaway and journalist Josh Dean, Hooked is a different kind of crime story that takes listeners on an exceptional and very personal tour of America’s opioid epidemic. New Episodes on Wednesdays. Hooked is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Campside Media. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts.

Amazing story of pain and tenacity

If you’re interested in the opioid epidemic and the effects of the over prescription and aggressive marketing of OxyContin on an individual and society you must give this a listen. It’s beautifully narrated with sensitivity to the subject. It can be light and fun at times, disturbingly so for such a heavy subject. Tony and Connor’s story should serve as a warning to us all; that addiction is not a weakness to be judged but a sickness we are all vulnerable to given the right (or wrong) set of circumstances. I’m going to miss the updates on how Tony and Connor are doing.
Hooked from the beginning!

This was a fascinating, thought provoking and wild ride! I was hooked from the beginning. Lovely to hear a happy ending for Tony Hathaway, his son and his family. I’d recommend this 100%. As someone addicted to prescribed OxyContin for chronic pain - this was an absolute eye opener. Brilliant from start to finish. Great storytelling Josh Dean!!!
Worth a listen 100%
