About this episode
In 1863, Byron Hot Springs opened its doors as a health spa in eastern Contra Costa County in northern California. In 1941, it was taken over by the US Army, for a very different purpose--to serve as a secret POW interrogation center for Japanese and German soldiers during WWII. Bob Morton, my guest on this episode, grew up at the resort--and tells us what it was like.
