New True-Crime Podcast "Heart" Announced
Apple TV announced "Heart," an original eight-episode true-crime podcast. The series is hosted by Karen Kilgariff and is scheduled to premiere on October 19. This addition expands Apple TV's existing lineup of original podcasts, which has been growing since 2021.
Podcast Premise and Investigation
The podcast centers on Sonny Graham, a heart transplant recipient who falls in love with his donor's widow. Both Graham and the donor, Terry Cottle, died by suicide. "Heart" investigates whether the donated heart could have carried traces of the donor's trauma, potentially influencing Graham's behavior after the transplant.
The investigative reporting for "Heart" involved piecing together court documents, public records, and firsthand accounts to examine the circumstances surrounding both deaths and their impact on the families involved.

Apple TV subscribers will have access to all eight episodes of "Heart" starting October 19. Non-subscribers will receive the first three episodes on the premiere date, with subsequent episodes released weekly every Monday until November 23.
