that's gone around before Laney Wilson doesn't write about love songs. Well,

and I think she has. We have a lot to
talk about today, so let's get to it then. Hey, Lany,

to my husband. God, can I be Landy Wilson?

new album, Whirlwind.

been a whirlwind. And the way everything's going, I kind
of feel like this is going to start another one.

songwriter and actress. I heard you're going to be back
on Yellowstone again.
Speaker 1 (01:16):

very excited to be talking about it. For a long time,
they told me I couldn't say anything, so it feels
good to say I'll be back on Yellowstone.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Is your music also going to be featured on Yellowstone
again this season?
Speaker 1 (01:30):

don't have my lines and my script just yet, but
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
How do you manage all of this? This is a
dream for somebody just to have a number one single
hit on country radio, and here comes Lanny Wilson, who
is true country. And you stood in your own beliefs
and look at those success you've had. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm getting tired of myself, Denise, I'm missing But it's funny.
I'll be riding down the road and I'll see my
face on a billboard and kind of just like forget
that it's me.
Speaker 2 (02:02):

You're everywhere, girl. What do your parents think? They have
to be pretty proud.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They're very excited, And the truth is they're they're just proud.
And I mean they were my believers before anybody, you know,
And so in a weird way, I don't really know
if they're like shocked or surprised, because they tell me
all the time they're like, we knew that you could
do it.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Ah, that's good to hear. I love your post with
your supportive family, your mom and dad. That's awesome. Hang tight, honey.
We are playing that song and I have to tell you, ooh,
the beat, this is how I'm keeping in shape. Oh girl,
I will do squats to that song every time it
comes on. I'm popping out a quick twenty because the
beat is no such a jam.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, maybe I need to do that when I'm singing
it every night.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh girl, I don't know. You're like in the best shape.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's right, That's right. You got to keep it tight.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That song is a jam. I love it. But you're
also writing some love songs now and you're inspired by
your boyfriend and hear, oh.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
My gosh, he's easy to write love songs about. I
tell you that I finally found somebody who can keep
up and he gives me a run for my own money,
and he's got his own thing going on, and just
he's my biggest cheerleader. So it's really easy for me
to write music. And actually the next single, the song
(03:22):
was written for him, It's got four by four by you.
You know, for a long time I felt like I
had not found the one that I could really like,
write love songs about and mean it. But like I
said earlier, he kind of makes it easy.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Do we hear any wedding bills in your future?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Hey? I hope. So I think that I have found
somebody who can put up with me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So that's awesome. I'm happy for you with everything happening,
what's next with you?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
With this record coming out and everything. What I've realized
is like opportunities just keep coming in and I'm open
to all of it. I really am. I'm excited to
see what's next, and I don't want to be scared
to step outside of my comfort zone and try things
I've ever done and while still staying true to myself.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You have done that, and you have a lot of
great collaborations with other artists too. Any collaborations that we
can look forward to in the future.
Speaker 1 (04:14):

or Eric Church. I'd love to do something with Miley Cyrus,
Teddy Swims.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I got The list is long, and at this point
they're coming to you, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Some of them are, but I think there's still some
I need to track down myself.

I don't know, lady. It was such an honor talking
to you. You're so much fun and just so down
to earth. I cannot wait to keep cheering you on
and keep doing my squats in the studio because you're

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.
