    Young Blood Trailer
    Oct 20 2022
    While running in Central Park, New York Times science writer Damon Ellis crashes—literally—into a story that just might resurrect his career… and change the course of human history. On the face of it, it seems absurd—a small biotech company in Boston called Calypso that claims to have cracked the secret of eternal youth. Surely a hoax. Or is it?

    Desperate for a career-defining story, Damon becomes obsessed with this mysterious company and risks it all, including his marriage, on a dangerous quest into the secretive world of life extension. But the further he goes to reveal the truth, the more he finds those who would conspire to keep him silent.

    From the creators of the hit podcasts Passenger List and The Cipher comes Young Blood, a heart-pounding psychological thriller infused with black comedy starring Geoffrey Arend (500 Days of Summer, Garden State), Annie Parisse (How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days), Jon Gabrus, and Theo Ogundipe.

    Filled with mind-bending twists and turns and inspired by real-life science, Young Blood is a full cast Audible Original.

Solid audio drama, fun mystery/sci-fi

Not too funny and not too heavy. Binge worthy. Well acted, well written, well produced.

Captivating

This was a great story with twists that you thought was going in one direction but actually went a complete different one!

Oh my god!

I was listening to every word, every sentence, every breath, space, second, sound. I was so entrances by the story, I listens to it all in one day. I could not believe how amazing this was made. A whole movie/show in your head with the assistance of orchestrating, line reads, and sound effects makes this an incredible new way for me to enjoy stories.

Overall is great except the last episode.

I listened the last episode for 2 times in order to understand the story.
I thought I missed something.
I don't really like the last episode.
It didn't explain why he had changed his mind to against the conspiracy theory.

Very entertaining with a plausible story...

I really enjoy these audio drama style "podcasts" and this is one my favorites so far. Great story line with surprising arcs, a fantastic cast of voice actors, and emersive audio engineering. Loved it!
