LISTEN – GOING TO ANY LENGTHS –

Nov. 9, 2021 – Campside Media co-founder Josh Dean details Hathaway’s life in “Hooked,” a podcast series based on Dean’s original reporting for Bloomberg Businessweek. Dean found a news article about Hathaway’s arrest when looking for a story about a “specially prolific bank robber.” Only after reading an email from Hathaway in prison did Dean realize Hathaway’s story was about much more than the crime spree.

The Seattle Times spoke with Dean about his desire to create a podcast, his experience learning Hathaway’s emotional story and what “Hooked” can teach listeners — and what it taught Dean himself — about addiction.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
