In Season 6, we tackle a brand-new type of betrayal – not one between a husband and wife, but within a tight-knit community of friends and family. After Carl and Adam broke up, it seemed like their life together was in the past. Then, a campaign of terror brought old wounds to the surface. This is the story of a year of chaos – in which technology was used to shatter an entire circle’s sense of reality. Someone in the community wasn’t who they said they were – and they weaponized Carl’s deepest secrets against him. This season, a group of men find their way back to reality - to trusting themselves, and each other.

True Crime
Betrayal Weekly is an ongoing documentary podcast from the producers of the critically acclaimed Betrayal series, hosted by Andrea Gunning. Every Thursday, the series explores real-life stories of broken trust, shocking deception, and the devastating aftermath they leave behind. From double lives and dark discoveries to unimaginable secrets, each episode reveals how the people we trust most can sometimes turn out to be complete strangers. These gripping first-hand accounts are stories of betrayal, survival, and resilience, cautionary tales that expose the hidden cracks beneath seemingly ordinary lives. Season 1 Betrayal is an eight-episode podcast hosted by Andrea Gunning. It's the story of Jenifer Faison, a woman who reconnected with her college sweetheart, Spencer Herron, later in life. Jen, a reality television producer, picked up and moved cross-country to her new husband’s small town in Acworth, Georgia to be with her first love. Spencer was a popular soccer coach and a two-time "Teacher of the Year" award winner at a local high school. After seven years of a wonderful marriage, she came home to find Spencer clutching a search warrant. He was soon taken by the police and prosecuted for a crime she never could have imagined. She hasn’t seen him since he was taken from their home in handcuffs on June 1, 2018. After his arrest, Jenifer uncovered a double life her husband had been living the entire duration of their marriage. To heal, Jenifer decides to learn who she was married to from the people who knew the other side of Spencer. She talks with the victim of his crimes and the other women he preyed on in a series of stunningly candid and sensitive interviews. Through these exchanges, Jen can let go of the shame and emerge from the hold this chapter has had on life. Season 2 Ashley Lytton was a typical mom and wife in suburban Utah with three children until she discovered her husband’s horrifying secret. It was a shocking crime that would alter Ashley’s life and jeopardize the safety of her children. This season of Betrayal will focus on one mother’s fight to find justice for her daughter and protection from a predator too close to home. Once we hear her story, we learn the same crime is happening every day in households all over the country. It’s a betrayal of our families, communities and everything we value in society. Season Two lays the issue bare through the family’s story and takes an honest look at a huge problem most people don’t want to even want to acknowledge. Season 3 Stacey Rutherford thought she met her soulmate when she laid eyes on Dr. Justin Rutherford. They fell in love, and it was better than she ever imagined. But this family doctor, beloved father, and cherished husband had dark secrets. He had sworn to do no harm but would resort to any means necessary to save himself. Season 4 Karoline Borega married a man of honor – a respected Colorado Springs Police officer. She knew there would be sacrifices to accommodate her husband’s career. But she had no idea that he was using his badge to fool everyone. This season, we expose a man who swore two sacred oaths—one to his badge, one to his bride—and broke them both. We follow Karoline as she questions everything she thought she knew about her partner of over 20 years. Season 5 Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life. If y

In the golden age of air travel, flying was sold as glamorous, luxurious, and effortlessly chic. But for the young women working the aisles at 30,000 feet, the reality was very different. When Patt Gibbs joined American Airlines in the 1960s, she was trained to be slim, smiling, and subservient. Stewardesses like her were weighed like luggage, forced to retire at 32 years old, banned from marriage, and expected to endure sexual harassment with grace. One extra pound, one birthday too many, or one wedding ring and your wings were clipped. But when Patt walks into a union meeting on a whim, everything changes. The Girlfriends: Flight or Fight tells the story of the stewardesses who refused to be grounded. From secret meetings to landmark discrimination cases to high-stakes union votes, these women challenged America’s biggest airlines and the sexism baked into the industry itself. A powerful sisterhood began to form across cabin aisles and crew lounges. They weren’t just fighting for better contracts. They were fighting for control of their own lives. The Girlfriends: Flight or Fight is produced by Novel for iHeartPodcasts. For more from Novel, visit https://novel.audio/. You can listen to new episodes of The Girlfriends: Flight or Fight completely ad-free and 1 week early with an iHeart True Crime+ subscription, available exclusively on Apple Podcasts.

Disagree with the facts

Aug 3

jessie style music

Love this podcast, but I have a couple factual disagreements about the effect of weight on overall health. Yes, it is absolutely true that a fat person who eats well and moves their body is healthier than someone is thin but smokes cigarettes, eats junk food, and doesn’t exercise. Completely 100% agree that thinness does not equate to overall health. However: stating that healthcare should only value weight in terms of medication dosing is simply not true. Weight is measured every time you go to a doctor’s office to monitor many things, but rapid weight loss and rapid weight gain are genuinely concerning. Changes in weight can be early indicators of disease. Additionally, and this is true for human bodies regardless of weight, every step you take puts pressure on your knee and hip joints. The force that goes through your knees is 4x greater than your body weight. For hips, it’s 2.6x your body weight. If you are heavier, there is literally more force wearing and tearing on your knees (which are not the most stable joints in general) and hips. That causes all sorts of joint problems in the future. To say weight doesn’t matter for health is simply not true and even misleading for the general public. Irresponsible to put that out there.
I went to Camp Shane

So I went to Camp Shane when I was a kid. I’m sorry but it was a great experience. There was mental health as well as diet and exercise. I made incredible friends. I was ages 12-16 when I went. I went back as a counselor briefly when I was 19. Yeah it was just a great experience. I’m not sure why they are trying to demonize it.

I fell upon this podcast by accident and was absolutely astonished that this wasn’t a “tale of old” but set to present day. It showed me how much of an echo chamber I’ve been living in since I thought “fat camps” were shamed out of existence decades ago. Well done on shining light on this abhorrent practice that I didn’t even realize it was still a thing.
