Podcast Corner: Carlo Gebler's tale of Maze escape is essential listening

The 15-minute episodes of Escape From The Maze provide a fascinating history of events in a prison where he used to teach 

The H-Blocks at the Maze Prison, near Belfast.

 The  author Carlo Gebler - son of the late Edna O’Brien - taught at the notorious Maze prison complex in Co Down in the mid-1990s, when the IRA ceasefire was announced. 

“It’s the most important experience of my life. The Maze is my university, my degree subject - trauma. I’m so bloated by what I hear, I regularly have to sit, eyes closed but awake, to let my psyche digest the bile. The prisoners also have an amazing message for me: The war is over, a deal is coming.”
