Little Dot Studios Launches New Podcast Series

True crime enthusiasts rejoice! Little Dot Studios have released the first season of Real Stories Tapes: True Crime, a brand new podcast featuring Emmy-nominated TV Host Stephanie Bauer. By transforming some of Real Stories’ most popular true-crime documentaries on their digital channel into podcast episodes, an entirely new audience can now experience the mysteries that have enthralled nearly 5.5 million viewers worldwide.

The podcast takes the riveting full audio from some of the most popular true-crime documentaries hosted on Real Stories, Little Dot Studios' premium documentary channel. Stephanie will introduce and contextualize the stories for podcast listeners so that an entirely new audience can experience them in their preferred format.

Angel of Death, told over four chilling episodes, follows the police investigation in uncovering the horrifying truth behind the mysterious deaths of hundreds of patients at a California hospital.

Then, comes Dangerous Company, the intriguing tale of an international drug-smuggling ring, which unravels after a skydiver lands dead on a suburban driveway in the middle of the night. Found with a bag containing drugs, guns and military-grade night-vision goggles, the investigation reveals assassinations, police cover-ups and international crime kingpins. Both documentaries are from New Dominion Pictures.

Stephanie Bauer said, “I cannot get enough of true crime and it’s a dream to team up with Real Stories to bring Real Stories Tapes: True Crime to a podcast audience. Both stories are packed full of twists and turns like every good true crime story should be, and I know fellow fans will love these gripping stories as much as I do.”
