We'll have new episodes of Deep Cover soon, but until then, enjoy this preview from The Burden: Empire on Blood.
The podcast reached #1 on the charts when it was released six years ago. 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 years trying to untangle this dark intrigue. Then one day, his phone rang. It was the protege. Empire on Blood is one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. But someone’s gotta pay. If you want to hear more, find the show wherever you listen to podcasts.
