When you gotta go, you gotta go! – Ep. 13

We’ve all been there – on a long car ride, waiting in line, stuck in traffic, etc., etc. - when you realize the extra-large coffee, half-gallon bottle of water, or super-sized iced tea you just finished was a REALLY bad idea because now you REALLY “gotta go.” But where you go and the circumstances surrounding that sweet release could be downright criminal.

On this episode of the Escape Pod, the level of criminality runs the spectrum – from a teen who simply didn’t know peeing in public was against the law, to a killer who left his mark (and the clue to identifying him) on his victim.

You’ll cringe. You’ll crack up. You’ll get a little bit of every emotion when you escape to the Escape Pod with Charity and Julie!
