    Introducing: The Burden

    The Burden is a new investigative true-crime podcast from Orbit Media. The show tells the story of Detective Louis Scarcella, once celebrated for his prowess in solving tough cases in 1990s New York City. Scarcella becomes embroiled in controversy as a group of convicted murderers (who all claim to be innocent!) turned jailhouse lawyers uncover his involvement in dozens of cases, leading to the release of over 20 individuals he helped convict. But can they get themselves out too? The government has paid out a record-breaking $150 million in wrongful conviction settlements with more to come.
    The Burden is out now on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

jordanmoriarty ,

incredible & informative podcast

i downloaded apple podcasts just to leave this review because everyone needs to know how amazing it is. these two incredible women tell important stories with such clarity and expressiveness, while providing humour when things get a little tense. as an australian, the information provided about the time and setting of the crime is so vital, and i find most true crime podcasts neglect this part for international or younger listeners. fruitloops has fast become my favourite podcast (i'm currently binging the entire show) and i can't recommend this show more. you bet your ass i'm becoming a patreon because this incredible work needs to be seen more!

Oh hey hilary ,

GREAT PODCAST

Love these ladies - amazing true crime stories, well researched and always a great listen
