EXCLUSIVE: Audible has snapped up the rights to three podcasts from Audio Up – two series created by James Ellroy, the Demon Dog of American literature, and The Playboy Interviews.
The Amazon-owned company will launch two Ellroy adaptations – Hollywood Death Trip and American Tabloid – and The Playboy Interviews, which features the voice talents of the likes of Michael Shannon and Taye Diggs, as Audible Originals.
It comes on the back of a deal between the two companies for Maejor Frequency, a series fronted by Justin Bieber and Drake collaborator Brandon Green.
Hollywood Death Trip will launch first on July 7 2022. The five-part series will take listeners on a nocturnal tour of murder and mayhem in LA.
