And when this season came around, Carrie actually stepped out to produce another show at Glass, Burden of Guilt.
And that is a redemption arc story.
People should go listen to it.
The perpetrator genuinely puts in the work to make amends for something heinous that he did in his past.
And that's something Carrie and I have been talking about here with season five of Betrayal, with Saskia's story, because we don't set out to demonize these perpetrators.
We set out to report the story.
Survivors come to us, write to us, and we work with them.
But if there was genuinely an effort that Mike Levengood had made to...
acknowledge the harm he had done to make amends, you know, and he did plead guilty.
Like he had the opportunity to use that to make a statement to her to not put her through the divorce trial she did.
And like you were saying, Andrea, like he did not take those opportunities.
And so we can't report a redemption arc because it isn't there.
And it's disappointing, honestly.
When people ask, which they often do, oh, it must be so hard to work on stories like this.
The antidote for me is really getting to see the healing and the connections and the progress the survivors are making.
And to see that the telling of their story was helpful in that is actually more impactful for me in the end than the worst part of their story that we hear.
Hey, Mo. Hi, Dre. So fun to come out from behind the scenes. Oh, my God. I am glad to be here, and I am excited to dive into some listener questions that we have been receiving all season on Betrayal Weekly. I love it.
Yeah, you know, I've been a podcast producer for eight years and I've worked on all kinds of shows. I've produced chat shows, pop culture, news, narrative. But this show has been a complete standout in my work experience.
I mean, from the day that I came onto this team, y'all have built this framework of doing something really unconventional and trying to, I think, develop a trauma-informed storytelling model. This collaborative kind of storytelling that we're doing where we're working with these survivors, we're giving them a lot of autonomy in the storytelling process.
So getting to join that and getting to connect with the people that tell their stories, these people who've been through something really traumatic and are wanting to share their experiences has been incredibly rewarding for me. I think it's an uncommon experience in the audio industry to see a show work so closely with the storytellers and to collaborate with them in the way that we do.
