  • 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.

Pretty decent sci-fi rabbithole

This was definitely worth listening to. Good acting and performance!
I definitely recommend it, these pieces are so much more fun to listen when acted out instead of just read aloud.

Anything from Goldhawk Productions is quality

Another excellent output from this production company. The same team that put out Passenger List and Tumanbay. More please.

Filled with twists until the ferry end

Loved this, it started off in one direction, changed course, diverted back, done a 360 then veered off to the right.
If you enjoy plot twists and an unpredictable story, give this a listen.

Slow start, confusing middle & intense conclusion

There were times when the story lost me and became overly convoluted, the narration drifted into cringe inducing absurdity and I found myself zoning out because it was hard to follow or indeed stay interested. However, I'm glad that I did because the pace really picked up and all the pieces fit together wonderfully by the end with some truly shocking moments. I had enjoyed Cipher on BBC Sounds and I was glad to discover more from the creators, especially glad that it did not disappoint.
