Dr. Phil McGraw’s media company Merit TV is breaking into the world of podcasting with the debut of three new shows this week.
The shows will also be hosted by McGraw, and range from a daily 15-minute talk show to a series based on true crime, the company announced on Wednesday.
The shows under development include:
- “The Real Story with Dr. Phil,” a daily 15-minute show that offers unfiltered thoughts on the biggest news stories of the day, with shows available Monday through Friday. Content from the show will air on Merit TV’s daily newscasts as well.
- “The Dr. Phil Podcast,” a continuation of his nightly prime-time talk show that involves in-depth conversations on topics like immigration, government health initiatives, and deadly illegal drugs.
- “Mystery & Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil,” a program that involves McGraw taking a deeper dive into stories themed around true crime.
“We’re thrilled to expand our programming offerings into the growing podcast space with these timely and unique shows,” McGraw said in a statement. “There are more programs coming as Merit TV continues expanding into new content arenas.”
The audio version of each show will be available on major podcast platforms, Merit TV said, and video excerpts will be uploaded to YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
