    Episode 160 - Pennhurst

    Don't get hysterical for episode 160, as the Erins explore the history of institutions in "Pennhurst," available on Tubi. Pennhurst State School and Hospital opened in 1908, just outside of Philidelphia, PA. Once heralded as a revolutionary new way of treating the mentally challenged, it functioned as a city unto itself, with several amenities on property. The darker truth is a story of segregation and abandonment for society's less desirables. First hand experiences of people who lived and worked at Pennhurst hit you right in the feels.
