OUTLAWS: The Good Thief
Vassilis Paleokostas, aka “Greece’s Robin Hood,” has been on the lam for 14 years. In his absence, legends of his generosity have grown. But no one knows where he is, or if the stories are even true. Here’s what we do know: there’s a million Euro bounty out for Vassilis, and a 24-hour task force trying to track him down. When he robs banks, he shares the money with the poor. When he kidnaps industrialists -- and he only kidnaps those who are known for unfair labor practices -- they give baffling interviews showing how he opened their minds. And when he escapes heavily reinforced prisons, as he’s done ... by helicopter ... twice, he does it without harming a guard. Join host Miles Gray and our team of Greek reporters as we follow Vassilis’ trail from Athens to tiny islands to remote mountain hideouts. Along the way, we’ll meet Vassilis’s inner circle, chat with police chiefs and prime ministers, and work to understand how this thief managed to steal the country’s heart.
Love it!

Miles did an amazing job of leading me down a path while not giving too much away, as some narrators can, with inflection. Warm, well spoken, and still elusive enough to keep the mystery. The story was well written and turned corners I did not expect. Fantastic! Thank all of you involved.
Fascinating and intriguing:: recommended!!

Refreshing Change and Fasinating

This was such a refreshing and fascinating change from the true crime podcasts I’ve listened to before. There were no descriptions of someone being hacked or shot to death, and it is clear that the podcast team (which fittingly seemed to be made up mostly of Greeks) exhaustively researched this subject. This was not a fly-by-night operation. Apparently the research and production took more than a year of work. I lost count of how many people were interviewed, but it had to have been dozens; one of them was a former prime minister of Greece. One of the best parts of the podcast was that it puts the crimes of Paleokostas in the context of Greek society and culture so that we non-Greeks can understand why he is held in such high esteem by a significant portion of the population. It does so without being one-sided - the opposite view (that Paleokostas is a criminal, or even a terrorist) of the police and other authority figures is presented clearly and more than once. Finally, the first time I heard one of the Greek members of the team speak I almost drove off the road because she sounded exactly like Alicia Vikander. Dangerous driving aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and would listen to almost anything this team produced.
