Betrayal

Glass Podcasts and iHeartMedia have announced the launch of its eight-part true-crime podcast series "Betrayal." The first two episodes drop today, April 28, and will continue with weekly installments every Thursday. "Betrayal" is distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network and will be available on iHeartRadio and all major podcast platforms.

"Betrayal" unravels the case of convicted sexual predator and two-time Kell High School 'Teacher of the Year' Spencer Herron, who plead guilty to six counts of sexual assault of a former Cobb, Georgia student. Presently serving six concurrent sentences, Herron's crimes began when the sexual assault victim was in high school. Interviewing the now 21-year-old college student who survived numerous sexual assaults at the hands of her husband, Faison attempts to learn about the man she thought she loved.

"Spence was the last person who I ever would have guessed would have taken advantage of a kid, and I think anybody else who knew him would have said the same thing," said Faison. "Could it be true that this man I loved was a sexual predator? I realized that afternoon that life as I knew it would never be the same. The future that we planned was gone, and that was the last time I had seen him."

"Betrayal is the ultimate cautionary tale of what could go wrong with blind faith," added Glass Entertainment Group CEO and Executive Producer Nancy Glass. "Jenifer is just like anyone else; she built a life on love, trust and respect, but she had no idea what was concealed beneath the surface of her immaculate marriage. There were never any clues nor any reason to believe her world could come crashing down. This is the story of a woman living in the aftermath of the worst-possible scenario and her road to healing."

Glass Podcast's Head of Podcast Production and Development, Andrea Gunning, voices Betrayal alongside Faison. The series is executive produced by Nancy Glass and Jenifer Faison with Carrie Hartman and Ben Fetterman producing for Glass Podcasts. Glass Podcasts is overseen by Gunning, and Ben Fetterman, who serves as Head of Podcast Strategy and Development. For iHeart, Ali Perry is Executive Producing the series and Jessica Krainchich is serving as Producer.
