Legends 49: Scars

Aaron Mahnke
About this episode

Injuries often leave marks that stick with us for years. In locations designed for violence, though, scars often reach a new level of pain and darkness.

Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Alex Robinson and research by Cassandra de Alba.
