Are you ready to binge in a whole new way? I hope so because our number one binge-watching resource, Netflix, has launched a new podcast called You Can’t Make This Up which will go behind-the-scenes and more in-depth on the real stories behind their original true crime documentaries.
This new audio series will take a look at how their filmmakers got access, what ended up on the cutting room floor, and even the impact a Netflix show can have on the real lives of its subjects.
Somewhat similar in nature to Netflix’s first podcast, the three-episode Wormwood: The Companion Podcast, will feature a comedian, journalist or podcaster interviewing the directors and producers behind shows like The Keepers, Evil Genius, and Chef’s Table.
The first episode, released on Wednesday, is hosted by Netflix’s Rae Votta and Who? Weekly host Lindsey Weber. It features an interview with the directors of the hit documentary Wild Wild Country about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his cult which took over a small town in Oregon.
First stop: #WildWildCountry.

The second Netflix show to be covered, according to Decider, will be hosted by Kelly McEvers, the host of NPR’s Embedded, and takes a look at The Keepers one year after its release with director Ryan White and be released on May 9th.
Episodes of the podcast aare expected to air relatively close to a the launch dates for Netflix shows and movies, though as with The Keepers there will be proper exceptions.
