Our take on The Burden podcast

The Burden is a deep dive into a world where the lines between hero and villain blur. Imagine a world where convicted murderers, silenced and forgotten, have to fight against a cop legend, Louis Scarcella, to win back their freedom. Scarcella, known as The Hulk in his heyday, is famous for cracking impossible cases. But then, everything flips when he meets a group of prisoners who challenge everything he stands for. With Frenchy risking it all for the story and a narrative that flips between past and present, The Burden isn't just about crime. It's a hard look at justice and truth by Steve Fishman and Dax-Devlon Ross, whose dedication to discovering the truth makes this podcast a must-listen. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about the criminal justice system. The Burden is a true crime podcast by Orbit Media.
