“Hooked,” a new original nine-part podcast based on the true story of Tony Hathaway, who went from being a top engineer to becoming one of the most prolific bank robbers in American history, premieres today on Apple TV+. The first three episodes are now available on Apple Podcasts and via RSS, and fresh episodes will be released on Wednesdays.

Campside Media is in charge of the production of “Hooked.” Vanessa Grigoriadis, Adam Hoff, Matt Shaer, Mark McAdam, and Josh Dean serve as executive producers. “Hooked,” hosted by journalist and Campside Media founder Josh Dean, delves into the devastating effects of the opioid epidemic through the lens of one man’s remarkable descent into addiction and crime. It features interviews conducted over three years with Hathaway, his family, law enforcement, and others involved in this shocking story.
