Informants: Lawyer X

4.5 (51)
TRUE CRIME
WEEKLY SERIES

What's more dangerous than a life of crime? The life of a criminal informant. As they balance volatile relationships with criminals and law enforcement, they must probe for information without raising any red flags — all while knowing that even the tiniest slip-up could get them killed. So, why do they do it? For the greater good? For personal gain? The answers are as complicated as the double lives they lead. Hosted by famed attorney, author, and television producer Marcia Clark, Informants: Lawyer X reveals the story of Nicola Gobbo, a defense attorney who represented the key players in Australia's violent gang wars. As she appeared to become one of the gang, no one could have predicted she would turn into a police informant, selling out the very people she swore to defend. But then when the Lawyer X scandal exploded across headlines, Nicola's duplicity against Australia's most dangerous criminals and toughest cops was made public, ultimately putting her life and the lives of her children on the line. She is now in hiding, while the Australian police and legal community have to pick up the pieces and regain the public's trust.

Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.

Awesome Storytelling/ Intolerable Characters

What a twisted tale and what clear, concise telling of it! Excellently done in every way. I wish more cases were unfolded like this, so educational and interesting. The only thing that made me tilt my head was any sympathy directed Gabbo’s direction. The only thing that woman is a victim of is her own personality disorder.
Where are the episodes??

I don't know if I listen to this and then the podcast moved to a different platform but as I'm trying to clean up the podcasts I'm subscribed to, I clicked into the all episodes part of this podcast and there's absolutely nothing there so if I did listen to it, it was completely not memorable if I didn't, then for some reason, they never posted under Apple podcasts.🤷🏻‍♀️lame.
Loved this podcast!
