Cheech Would Never: "Lucky" Luke Brugnara

As Social Distortion once sang, “Some people like to gamble/But you, you always lose/Some people like to rock 'n' roll/You're always singin' the blues/You gotta nasty disposition/No one really knows the reason why/You gotta bad, bad reputation/Gonna hang your head down and cry/You got bad, bad luck." This is the tale of Luke Brugnara, the pinnacle of criminal ridiculousness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Come for the art crimes, stay for the unhinged documentary he later starred in and somehow was even wilder than his cons. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Olympic Prison [from Very Special Episodes]

In the winter of 1980, the world turned its eyes to Lake Placid, New York, host of the Winter Olympics. But behind the pageantry, another structure loomed in the Adirondack woods. Built to house 1,800 athletes, the Olympic Village looked less like a dormitory than a detention center — because that’s exactly what it was designed to become. On the Very Special Episodes podcast, Zaron Burnett, Dana Schwartz and Jason English tell one incredible story each week. Follow them down a different rabbit hole every Wednesday.

Welcome to America, Suckers: Selling the Brooklyn Bridge

It's become shorthand for someone being gullible, thinking they can buy the Brooklyn Bridge (and at a discount!). But the idea had to start somewhere. Turns out selling the bridge and other landmarks to those newly arrived on U.S. shores was a lucrative con in the early 1900s. But such cons are not sustainable, and eventually bad guys go to prison.

It's the Swiss Sugar Baron's Fault: The Knoedler & Company Art Forgery Scandal

A storied and respected New York art gallery thought they'd stumbled on a treasure trove of undiscovered Abstract Expressionist art. It was, of course, too good to be true.

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.

CRIMES VERDADEIROS
Hidden deep in online forums, a growing subculture thrives on anger, isolation, and blame: incels, or “involuntary celibates.” Incels see themselves as rejected by women and overshadowed by so-called “Chads”—the confident, attractive men they believe they can never be. Their frustration often mutates into open hostility, harassment, and, in the most extreme cases, acts of violence. Incels takes listeners inside this unsettling world—not to sensationalize it, but to understand it. Through expert analysis, first-hand accounts, and the voices of former incels, we break down how these communities operate, why they’re growing, and the psychological traps that keep men locked in cycles of resentment. With chilling stories and deep insight, Incels reveals the human cost of a culture built on hate—and the path forward for those ready to leave it behind.

CRIMES VERDADEIROS
Burden of Guilt, hosted by Nancy Glass, is a true account of how a desperate lie can reverberate—and cost people everything. The series examines that lie, its consequences, and the unlikely journey it took to undo it. In 1999, Jermaine Hudson was convicted in New Orleans and sentenced to 99 years in Angola Prison for a violent crime. More than two decades later, the man whose testimony put him there—Bobby Gumpright—finally told the real story. Through court records, firsthand interviews, and intimate access to both men, Burden of Guilt explores how addiction, fear, and systemic failures collided—and what justice, accountability, and redemption look like when the truth finally comes out. You can reach out to the Burden of Guilt team at Burdenofguiltpod@gmail.com. For more Burden of Guilt, follow us on Instagram @glasspodcasts. The first season of Burden of Guilt has been turned into a docuseries, now streaming only on Paramount+. Available to watch HERE!
