Hooked

How did Tony Hathaway go from being a successful family man with an engineering design job at Boeing to attaining the dubious distinction of having the longest-running bank-robbing spree in U.S history, fleecing 30 banks in all? It’s an unlikely story at the center of the new Apple original podcast, Hooked, hosted by Josh Dean of Hollywood Con Queen fame. Hooked is not a true-crime podcast, but rather a story of descent: into addiction, desperation, and hopelessness. Together with Tony, Dean challenges our assumptions about opioid addiction and the ongoing crisis as he charts the path of Tony’s transformation with twists and turns and family drama around every corner. —Jacob Robbins
