Hi, I'm Arturo Castro, and I've been lucky enough to do stuff like Brought City and Narcos and Roadhouse.

And now I'm starting a podcast because honestly, guys, I don't feel the space is crowded enough.

Get ready for Greatest Escapes, a new comedy podcast about the wildest true escape stories in history.

Each week, I'll be sitting down with some of the most hilarious actors and writers and comedians, people like

I love storytelling and I love you, so I can't wait.

Listen and subscribe to Greatest Escapes on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
