Podcasts are hot, hot, hot as TV adaptations Mark Shanahan © Lesley Becker For years, Hollywood has mined books and long-form journalism to create successful television. Think “Westworld,” “The Leftovers,” “Big Little Lies,” and “McMillions,” all of which started on the printed page. Increasingly, though, the search for compelling source material is leading TV producers to adapt podcasts, audio stories whose established narratives and built-in audiences make them a good bet for the small screen. Amazon’s “Homecoming,” USA Network’s “Dirty John,” and ABC’s “Alex Inc.” are all examples of popular podcasts that have become television series. But they’re only the beginning. TV deals are so in vogue now that podcasts are being made with the express purpose of adapting them, and others are being optioned for substantial sums even before they’ve been released.
