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.”

in-depth documentary films in a different format enables us to reach a podcast
