  • Summary

  • 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.

You'll need a few hours

Great story, acting, and sound design. Unlike many other audio dramas, this one has a satisfactory ending - no waiting for another season that will probably never come (I'm looking at you QCode). I stumbled across this here on Audible but wish it was available on other platforms as I'd love to share it more broadly. It's definitely a hidden gem. I wonder how many more like this are hidden among the dross?
