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.

USCG Helos to the Rescue (Part 3)


‘Yes, I Can’
The first Coast Guard swimmer lifesaving mission unfolded on 10 December 1987, when at 1936 a 26-foot fishing vessel named the
Bluebird requested assistance. The duty helicopter crew at Coast Guard Air Station Sitka, Alaska, quickly boarded HH–3F number 1486 and prepared to fly directly into a quickly developing storm at near-hurricane strength. Lieutenant Commander John Whiddon, Lieutenant Greg Breithaupt, Aviation Machinist’s Mate First Class Carl Saylor, Aviation Electronics Mechanic Third Class Mark Milne, and Aviation Support Equipment Technician Mechanical Second Class Jeff Tunks were airborne in 17 minutes, immediately buffeted by 60-knot winds, snow, and ice.
