Part 1 of 3: The Prison We Build — Understanding Resentment
What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t what they did, but what you’re still carrying?
In this powerful first episode of The Voyage Cast, host Eddie Eccker unpacks the quiet captivity of resentment, how it forms, why it lingers, and what it’s secretly costing you. This isn’t just about anger. It’s about identity, pain loops, and the emotional armor we wear when forgiveness feels impossible.
You’ll discover:
- Why resentment is more than leftover anger—it’s a recycled narrative
- The physiological toll of reliving betrayal (backed by brain science)
- The hidden emotional payoffs that keep us stuck in bitterness
- How family dynamics and cultural myths shape our resistance to forgiveness
- When the pursuit of justice becomes a trap
- A short, guided reflection to help you name what you’re still carrying
Whether you’re working through a relationship wound, a long-held grudge, or the ache of something unresolved, this episode offers an honest, empathetic starting point.
Resentment & Release is a 3-part series helping you move from emotional rehearsals to real healing.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
