Introducing: The Burden

In the 1980s and 90s, New York City needed a tough cop like Detective Louis Scarcell.

Putting bad guys away, there's no feeling like it in the world. He was the guy who made sure the worst

killers were brought to justice. That's one version. This guy is a piece of shit.

Derek Hamilton was put away from murder by Detective Scarcella.

In prison, Derek turned himself into the best jailhouse lawyer of his generation.

We never knew we had the same cop in the case.

I'm Steve Fishman, and I'm Dax Devlin Ross and this is the burden.

Season 2 is the unbelievable but true story of the greatest spy of World War II. The Nazis don't know her name, but they want this woman dead. A mysterious agent is strategically dismantling their violent grasp on France and not only leading her own resistance factions but inspiring others. The Gestapo sends their devious double-agent, the priest Robert Alesh, to hunt down The Limping Lady before she threatens their entire push for Western Europe. But Virginia Hall was tougher and more resilient than they ever expected. Season 1 was a Top 10 hit with millions of listeners, making it one of the Top 20 new podcasts of 2021. Bestselling author and journalist Stephan Talty returns with Season 2 of Good Assassins: the dramatic story of a different kind of spy. Written by CD Carpenter (“American Hostage”) and produced by the award-winning team at Diversion Audio.
