Episode Transcript
Hi, you welcome to Dick. It happened here the show
where we just spent a few minutes not recording by
accident and also trying to shoot my cataways so they
would stop throwing uh old grenades off my desk. So
that's the vibe that we're going for today. Okay, and
oh do you know what today is? Today is May Day?
(00:22):
Famed famed, one of the best holidays. Um so in
the Mayday tradition, I'm not doing my job today, so
we're not doing a real episode. But but don't don't worry.
We still have other content for you to listen to.
Uh speaking of content of friend of friend of the
pod marcat Killjoy, Hi, do you have anything that we
can listen to today? No? Was I supposed to prepare something?
(00:46):
Oh oh wait, what if I released the very first
episode of my new podcast today? And what if it
was a May Day themed episode? Would that sound good?
That would sound, as the kids say, very based of you.
That would be so cool. Because if if you like
May Day and only working eight hours a week, which
(01:06):
is still too many hours, but if you enjoy that
as opposed to more hours, you should probably thank the
anarchists and You can learn more about those people at
Margret's new show, Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff here
on cool Zone Media, also featuring also featuring friend of
the pod Robert Evans. Yes, Robert Evans is a guest
all that episode, so if you're familiar with that guy,
(01:26):
then you could also listen. So yeah, episodes dropping every
Monday and Wednesday until the world burns. Yeah, so like
three months, three months? Well actually did they? They said
like what like forties six weeks? Oh yeah, I math
it out. It was nine. Um, it's nine months that
the the UN says we have to turn everything around.
(01:48):
But as as my friend pointed out, we're gonna waste
a month of that just trying to do the math
of calculating the weeks and ten months. I do love optimism.
Well that does it for us today. Go enjoy your
May Day by not working or at least just kind
of sucking around. And that's what I'll be doing. And
Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff is out now, so

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
