In Episode Eleven of The Rent-ish Pod, Zach and Patrick take a ferry to the past in this week’s Proptology segment, diving into the history of Alcatraz. Before it became the world’s most famous prison, what was it used for? How big is it really? And why has it stuck around in pop culture for so long?

Then it's time to answer listener-submitted questions, tackling topics like self-managing your first rental and the one feature tenants actually care about (spoiler: it’s not granite countertops).

🏝️ Whether you're here for real estate tips or just curious about iconic islands, this episode keeps it light, informative, and Rent-ish as ever.
