Love Trapped

iHeartPodcasts and Glass Podcasts

#8 in True Crime this week

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one.  
At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable.  New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.

    Introducing: Everyone Knows But Me

    Love Trapped listeners, we're excited to share a special preview of Episode 1: The One With My Dad's Confession from the podcast Everyone Knows But Me. When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer. It looked like life couldn’t get more traumatic, until her dad dropped a bombshell….or two bombshells, really: twin brothers that her entire family kept secret. She was the only one who didn’t know they existed. After his death left her with more questions than answers, Holly sets out to uncover how a secret this big could be hidden, and why the sitcoms that raised her were often the only way to make sense of a life stranger than TV. You can listen to Everyone Knows But Me on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
