Hello, it's Andrea, and we are sharing the trailer for a brand new show from our friends over at Orbit Media, who are launching the fourth season of their excellent series, The Burden, this week.

Get the Money and Run immerses listeners in the world of Joe Loya, a notorious bank robber who hit more than 30 banks in a single year in Southern California. It's at once a fast-paced heist story and a deep look into Joe's mindset and motivations because he is the one telling the story. Get the Money and Run is out now, so give it a listen on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi there, this is Steve Fishman from Orbit Media. Our new series, season four in the Burden Feed, is Get the Money and Run. You'll love it. Here's the trailer. When is walking to a bank not just walking to a bank? When you're walking to a bank robbery and you are the robber. I had this peace almost. I was like, I had a storm and I'm like, focus, don't need no music, don't have no noise in my head, no fucking fear at all.

And when I'm that guy, that guy gets shit done. Like walk into a bank, walk up to a teller, and without even showing a weapon, walk away with thousands and thousands in cash. I'm going to run roughshod right through any resistance you have. You stand up, I'm cutting you in half.

and you'll quickly see acquiescence is the best thing at this point, and they did. I'm standing here with Joe Loya, aka the Beirut Bandit. Over 14 months, Joe robbed so many banks, he lost count. The FBI even said that, something about like, "He didn't pull the gun, why'd you give him the money?" And they were all like, you know, his eyes.

It's his eyes, he meant it, you could tell. And there was menace in my eyes. You know, I had attempted to kill my dad when I was 16. I'd already spent a couple years in prison. I knew how to carry myself and turn on that aggression, that sort of violent maleness.

I'm Ben Adair, and coming soon, The Burden season four, Get the Money and Run. It's an all-access pass into the mind of one of California's most prolific bank robbers. Just terrify these people and get them so scared that not only would they give me the cash, they would give me their terror. It made me feel strong. All I know is we're fucking helpless. All I know is anarchy. All I know is chaos. I just leaned into that.

Listen to Get the Money and Run starting May 6th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And to hear the entire season all at once, ad-free, subscribe to True Crime Clubhouse on Apple Podcasts for subscribers. The show drops one week early, April 29th.
