EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP. In this episode, Teresa and I discuss the history of asylums and bring it home with our own local one of Philadelphia State Hospital, better known as Byberry Asylum. We also find out Teresa is slightly obsessed with the old people home that was built there after Byberry was demolished, and Chase also joins us, at least in his dreams.
