Audible Announces Slate of True Crime and Investigative Journalism Series

Audible today announced an exciting new slate of original narrative nonfiction podcasts that explore the most gripping true stories of our time. Award-winning and hit series like Dr. Death, Hysterical, and Dying for Sex have now joined Audible’s substantial lineup of must-listen journalism. This combination of two narrative audio powerhouses cements Audible as the definitive destination for listeners who love blue-chip true crime and deeply reported audio nonfiction.

This year’s slate of new podcasts features a diverse array of comprehensively investigated series, including real-time cold cases, an exploration of intimacy in the digital world, and a detailed look at a doctor accused of harming patients and exploiting the medical system. These shows are reported and hosted by a renowned group, including journalist Leon Neyfakh, award-winning podcaster Dan Taberski, detective Paul Holes, and Laura Beil, who returns with a fifth season of Dr. Death.

"This combined slate represents a ‘Justice League’ of journalists and audio storytellers in one home," said Marshall Lewy, Head of Audible Content for North America. "These are some of the very best journalists and hosts telling incredibly important and compelling stories in audio. They’ve developed loyal audiences who want to see what story they dig into next. By bringing Wondery's award-winning lineup of investigative journalism and true crime together with Audible's, we've created an unmatched slate in the industry."

“Bringing Dr. Death’s next chapter to Audible feels like a natural fit,” stated Laura Beil, the show’s creator and host. “As a journalist who's spent decades investigating systemic failures in the U.S. healthcare system, I know these are not just stories, these are people's lives. I value Audible's commitment to supporting the kind of long-form investigative journalism that takes time and resources to get right.”

Finding the Lost Girls

• Premieres March 19, 2026
• Narrated and investigated by Paul Holes
• Written and produced by Peter McDonnell

For decades, Joseph Naso made his living taking people's portraits in the Bay Area, but he harbored a monstrous secret. He was one of California’s most prolific serial killers. During a probation visit, an officer discovered a list of clues to what appeared to be ten murders. A statewide investigation exposed that Naso had led a shocking and secret life of predation and violence. A judge sentenced Naso to death for six of the murders on his list and shipped him off to San Quentin. But Naso’s other homicides went cold, perhaps permanently. A few years ago, however, celebrated detective Paul Holes reopened them. He’d been part of the original investigative team, and that work felt unfinished. This series is the gripping tale of Paul's real-time investigation into four murders related to Joe Naso, pitting one of America’s best detectives against one of its most prolific and deranged serial killers. It was recorded, written, and produced as events unfolded. The question is, can Paul solve these cold cases and bring relief and justice for these women and their families before Naso dies and takes his monstrous secrets with him?
