This winter, For The Win tried something new. We, along with partners USA TODAY and Wondery Media, released our first narrative podcast.
It’s a podcast at the intersection of sports and true crime, and tells the story of Anthony Curcio, a once-great football star who fell on hard times and then pulled off an audacious robbery — stealing $400,000 from an armored truck and then escaping in an inner tube down a river.
As we found with new reporting, however, the story that had been told about the crime? It wasn’t the full story. Not even close. What started out as a true crime story soon became a story about a small town, and that town’s secrets. Secrets about the crime, and the people who got away with it.
The entire first season is now out, ready for binging. Each episode is between 15 and 20 minutes long, so you can move pretty quickly through it, and we think you’ll like it. We’d love if you gave it a shot.
