iHeartMedia launches "Wheel Woman," a new iHeartRadio Original podcast that tells the true story of Georgia Durante, an all-American beauty, who moves to New York and becomes a mob wife and getaway driver for the Gambino crime family. Then, as a means to save her daughter and escape her abusive marriage and criminal ties, she moves to Los Angeles with $7 in her pocket and reinvents herself as Hollywood's first female stunt driver.

The scripted podcast is written by Lars Jacobson and Sabrina Jaglom, and directed by Sabrina Jaglom. It's brought to life by an ensemble cast of characters voiced by Lelia Symington as Georgia, with additional performances by Tanner Beard, Zachary Webber, Simon Jaglom, Chase Mullins, Nick Williams, Gabe Greenspan, Dylan McCollum, Garrett Baer, Nora Garrett, Ducan Calladine, Victoria Foyt, Max Giorgi, Mariah Bess and Max Jacoby.

"My life has taken me down many unexpected turns, each more incredible and far-fetched than the last. I'm so excited to share my story and let listeners in on the hard-won lessons I've learned and the resilience it takes to persevere in this world as a woman. You'll never see the next twist coming," said Durante.

"Wheel Woman" gives listeners the inside scoop, sharing Georgia's lifetime of hardship and the lessons she picked up along the way. The first episode launches Thursday, May 5, with new episodes released every Thursday. "Wheel Woman" is distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network and is available on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are available.
