Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Butner, located in North Carolina, is often dubbed "America's prison for the rich and famous" due to its high-profile inmate roster and relatively accommodating conditions compared to other federal prisons. Part of the Butner Federal Correctional Complex, this medium-security facility houses individuals convicted of white-collar crimes, including financiers, celebrities, and public figures, alongside other offenders. Known for its extensive medical care facilities, including specialized treatment for aging and terminally ill inmates, FCI Butner has gained a reputation as a "country club" prison. However, critics argue that its humane conditions highlight disparities in how the U.S. justice system treats wealthy offenders compared to the broader prison population.

Hidden just steps from the Washington Monument lies a granite marker most people overlook—but this modest stone was once meant to become the center of the world. The Jefferson Pier Stone, placed in 1804, was part of a bold plan by Thomas Jefferson to sever the United States from European dominance by creating a new prime meridian through Washington, D.C.
But Jefferson’s dream quietly faded. The stone, lost and later rediscovered, now sits half-forgotten on the National Mall—an echo of America’s ambition to define its own place in the world. In this episode, we explore the forgotten history of the Jefferson Pier, the political defiance behind its placement, and how it was nearly erased from public memory.

In the 1860s, London built a futuristic underground network that few people remember today. Long before the Tube or Mail Rail, the Pneumatic Despatch Company operated a series of capsule trains—powered by compressed air—that shuttled letters and parcels beneath the city at breakneck speed. It was efficient, innovative, and ahead of its time.
Backed by major investors and the British Post Office, this Victorian system promised to solve the city’s growing logistical challenges. At its peak, it could send mail between stations in under a minute. But just over a decade later, it vanished—abandoned, sealed off, and largely forgotten. So what happened to the Pneumatic Despatch Company? And could parts of it still survive beneath modern London?
