Speaker 2 (00:03):
Look, I do acknowledge, as I've said that I'm very
late to this party, ten years late, and I know
that some people are going, where have you been? Sassanak?
That's what us Outlanders say, Brendan's I hate myself. What
sassinak is what the Scottish people in the seventeen hundreds
would call an English puss, And so that was Jamie
(00:25):
Jamie Fraser played by Sam Hewan in Outlander. Yep, that's
what he would call Claire, his wife in the seventeen hundreds,
sassanak because she was English. If you don't know the story,
where have you been? She is a woman from the
nineteen forties who gets transported by touching some stones in
Scotland back into the seventeenth stones. By the way she touched, well,
(00:49):
Mick Jagger, it was there as well. Mick Jagger. Oh no,
he's just old. So anyway, Yes, that's what's happening. There's
a lot of respect entire Yeah, and there's lots of sex,
lots of kills. A lot of people who are listening
to this go well, duh, it's been going for ten years.
The new season, Season seven has just dropped. I've only
watched season one.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
But how much sexy you're getting?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, some episodes a lot, but there's always a bit
of a pash or a something, an intensity between them.
It doesn't matter what's happening. Even if he's being flogged,
even if he's been raped by a British soldier, there's
going to be some intensity between him and clear. The
latter was the one that we always said to I
don't have my wife's got to repeat, but that seems
to come up alone. I should want to watch that.
(01:32):
It was quite disturbed. Yeah, well we all stand there
and say, okay, well, the sexy bits are so sexy.
Sometimes I have to put my hands over my face
because what's Sam doing with that woman and not me? No,
I don't really say that, but I tell you what.
My palms are sweating just talking about it, because I've
done a deep dive in my life for three days.
I watched it NonStop. I watched for hours and hours
(01:54):
and hours. Yeah, and I really got into the zone
of it all. We interviewed who plays Jamie when he
was on a zoom, so we saw him and everything.
He was in a film with Prianca Chopra Jonas. The
film was terrible. The film was love Love Again. I'm
(02:16):
going to go back and watch it again because now
I have a newfound interest. But during that interview, because
I just wanted to do because he exaggerates his Scottish voices.
He plays a Scottish highlander of in the seventeen hundreds,
but he's got quite a soft lilt. I have gone
back and listened to the interview we did with him,
and I even mentioned Jamie Sam we know you as
Jamie of course from Outlander. How was it to play
(02:37):
a contemporary character and quite a vulnerable character? Was it
fun to step outside?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, it's so nice to play someone different, to fit
this into a busy schedule, and you know, no Ginger Wig,
no kill.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And yeah, he's a different character.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You know, I kind of wanted him to be based
on well, actually Jim the Writer, very similar kind of guy,
but also maybe a little not to kind of Hugh Grant,
Tom Hanks nor Afro movies as well. No, he's kind
of slightly neurotic.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Does he sound anymore? That was me flirting because I
just liked him before i'd even became obsessed with him.
So you know what, I loved. Maybe you foresaw his talents.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
This is how that movie and you thought, I've got
to watch that outlet.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
The This is and I've done a bit of a
deep dive here. This is how the interview is.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Just say, you've been doing a lot of deep dive.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I've had to get a snorkle. This is how the
interview started, Amanda. He said our names, and I hope
you don't mind, but I've chopped you out my demand.
That's now, so can I hear that again? Demander just
rolls off the term. That's like he's saying, hi demand.
Well close enough, and you know what, I've turned that
into my ring tone. So if you phone me, if
(03:49):
anyone phones me, I'm phone in the studio just as well.
But this is what you only hears.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
What I'll hear my Demander, my Demander, my Demander.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And my gasp at the end, You're I'm never going
to answer my phone, just so I hear that constantly.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Maybe stop calling me to vibrate.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That's my other burn a phone with my other ring tone.
Nothing weird, Brenda, nothing weird?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Will will you be watching love again?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Just on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'll make sure.
Speaker 2 (04:24):

our Netflix account. Please knock yourself out. Thanks,

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.
