''Outlaws: The Good Thief''

iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope announce the launch of a new eight-part series. "Outlaws: The Good Thief," will tell the true story of Vassilis Paleokostas, Greece's modern-day Robin Hood, who over a twenty-year span orchestrated some of the country's most inventive bank heists and escapes. To this day, he remains at large, having escaped not once but twice from Greece's maximum security prison, Korydallos, by helicopter.

Oz Woloshyn and Mangesh Hattikudur, Kaleidoscope's co-founders, commented, "Vassilis Paleokostas is like a cross between a real life action hero and a philosopher. His bank robberies and escapes read like they belong on the silver screen. But he is also a socialist trying to fix a broken system. He's like a cat burglar for the people, who also wants to get rich along the way."

"We are proud to continue our collaboration with Kaleidoscope on their impressive slate of scripted podcasts," said iHeartPodcasts President Will Pearson. "'The Good Thief' is popcorn podcasting at its finest - incredibly cinematic and exciting storytelling that is perfect for summer and reason enough for getting lost in the magical world of Greece."

This is the first season of "Outlaws," an original anthology series following in the footsteps of "Obsessions," and is voiced by Miles Gray, co-host of iHeartPodcasts' "The Daily Zeitgeist" and "Mad Boosties." "Outlaws: The Good Thief" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will release a new episode every Wednesday beginning today with the final episode dropping August 30.
