Inside 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. * Hosted by Zaron Burnett, Dana Schwartz, and Jason EnglishWritten by Zaron BurnettSenior Producer is Josh FisherEditing and Sound Design by Jesse NighswongerMixing and Mastering by Josh FisherOriginal Music by Elise McCoyShow Logo by Lucy QuintanillaExecutive Producer is Jason English For School of Humans, Producers are Emilia Brock and Edeliz Perez.

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.

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!

Very unique topic and well done

This podcast pleasantly surprised me. India has always been interesting to me just due to the pure culture shock that place gives me even prior to me going there. I think this podcast played a very unbiased role in exploring the dark side of India, as well as the situations foreigners get themselves in that they should know to avoid.
Great show!

This was a well written and told story. It was disquieting and I learned new things. It felt real, was empathetic, and was wrapped up with wisdom.
Unique and interesting

This is the type of podcast I love…something interesting, different, with personal stories and a twist that makes you think about a new topic. Why wasn’t I suggested this podcast earlier when the apps keep suggesting podcasts over and over that I’ve already listened to? Should you listen? Yes!
Great Surprise

I happened upon this podcast while searching for general True Crime podcasts. The first episode captivated me! Well written and performed. Enjoyable and educational listen.
