In this special bonus episode of Betrayal, go behind the scenes with the Betrayal team featuring host Andrea Gunning and the producers, editors, and story team who brought Season 4 to life. This conversation took place on Beyond Betrayal, the official Substack of the Betrayal Podcast and Host Andrea Gunning.

In this candid roundtable discussion, you'll hear how a single corrupted audio file nearly derailed the entire season—and how persistence led to one of the most shocking pieces of tape the team had ever encountered. The team explores why they made the crucial decision to expand beyond one officer's misconduct to examine the institutional culture that enables systemic betrayal. They also get personal about the emotional toll of spending months immersed in other people's pain—and the boundaries they've built to stay grounded while telling these difficult stories. 

From building trust with sources to navigating the complexities of reporting on law enforcement, this conversation offers an unprecedented look at how investigative podcasting really works and the lengths the team took to get to the heart of this story.  

And don’t forget, a new season of Betrayal Weekly premieres in TWO DAYS, Thursday August 7th. If you aren’t already, please be sure to subscribe to Betrayal for the latest from the Betrayal team. There are a lot of exciting announcements coming this Fall!

In Season 6, we tackle a brand-new type of betrayal – not one between a husband and wife, but within a tight-knit community of friends and family. 

After Carl and Adam broke up, it seemed like their life together was in the past. Then, a campaign of terror brought old wounds to the surface. This is the story of a year of chaos – in which technology was used to shatter an entire circle’s sense of reality. Someone in the community wasn’t who they said they were – and they weaponized Carl’s deepest secrets against him. This season, a group of men find their way back to reality - to trusting themselves, and each other.
