Betrayal Season 5
iHeartPodcasts | Glass Podcasts
<p>Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life. </p> <p>If you would like to reach out to the Betrayal Team, email us at [email protected]. <br>Follow us on Instagram @betrayalpod and @glasspodcasts.</p> <p>Please join our Substack for additional exclusive content, curated book recommendations, and community discussions.
