Dirty John listeners/Dr. Death podcast

[pinkyp]

I got a notification from Google podcasts this morning. The network that produced the Dirty John podcast has a new 6 part investigative series about a seriously fucked up neurosurgeon who evidently injured/killed a bunch of patients. I'm not even sure what all he did but after the first 2 episodes I can only begin to imagine how much worse the story gets.

No joke, I randomly thought of it when I got into the shower just yesterday. It was so disturbing.

I was talking about podcasts with a guy I was on a date with and he brought up 'Dirty John' and I almost said that I know a distant family member from that story...but I didn't really want to open up the can of worms that is explaining my internet friends on a first date. lol

[notreal]

They made a Dirty John into a Tv show. It's going to be on Bravo this fall.

LOL that would be a tough one to explain.

I wonder often how the mom and youngest daughter are doing.  And the young lady who called the police to save her.  Such a hero!

Can't wait to listen!

And I'm excited about the Dirty John miniseries on bravo!

Wait...Is someone on here a family member?

I just listened to the first episode of Dr. Death. And I can't wait for the Bravo Dirty John show.

I went out to lunch with a CW and found myself explaining the story of the poster on here when the podcast was playing in her car. She was fascinated but I didn’t allude to it being an “internet person”. I just said I knew someone tangentially related to the story.

There is a regular poster here who is a niece of the woman who dated Dirty John, iirc.

Ooh! Thanks for the rec!

Another new one that’s coming out soon is called Happy Face. It’s along the same lines and sounds amazing!

[breebug]

Sweet, thanks! I remember reading an article about this doctor a few months back and being completely and totally appalled.

[eb777888]

I listened to the first two episodes while getting my lashes filled yesterday, lol. This is.... frightening. Really freaky shit. This story is local to me, how the hell did I never hear about it?

[wambam]

I never listened to Dirty John but I listened to the first ep of Dr. Death and I am totally on board.

[TR]

Oooh I’ve been needing a new early morning dog walk podcast to get excited for. I’ve burned through all of the How I Built This I wanted to listen to.

[OG Jo]

Awesome - thanks for the head's up! I loved Dirty John.

Wait, how did you not listen to Dirty John? You would love it, I’m almost certain!

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Also, after listening to the first 2 episodes of Dr. Death, it’s taking literally all of my self-control not to google the story for more info, like, immediately. My heart broke for Jerry.

Not one single bit of self control here. I immediately went to Google, which took me down a rabbit hole of many of his patients. Jerry's story is extremely sad.

[jaycee]

Thanks to this thread I listened to both. When do the next episodes come out?

[pinkyp]

jaycee I'm not sure. The DJ episodes were each dated 2 or 3 days apart I think, so hopefully there will be another one today. I'm dying to hear the next chapter!

I fell down the rabbit hole too! I tried so hard to wait but I couldn't help it.

Great recommendation. I loved the first two episodes.

I liked or currently listen to Dirty John, Southern Nightmare, S Town, Criminal, Reply All, Casefile. I listen to a lot of podcasts and am always looking for more.

I painted my entire house to S Town. That one was really sad and interesting. I'll have to look into Casefile.

I'm way late on this but I just started listening to Sword and Scale now that I'm all caught up on my other podcasts. I think Generation Why is my favorite. I love those guys. 

[idahome]

Is Dr. Death also on Stitcher? I listened to the teaser yester, but couldn’t find the full elisode(s).

Up and Vanished is my new podcast. I just started it today, but it’s good.
