"Dr. Death" host Laura Beil has a new podcast

Catch up fast: Beil was the reporter and host behind "Dr. Death" — one of the most popular podcasts of all time, about a problematic Dallas-area surgeon.

• She also hosted "Bad Batch" and "The Vaping Fix."

The big picture: The new show chronicles the scandal surrounding Robert Hadden, once a trusted OB-GYN, who was secretly one of the most prolific sexual predators in New York City.

• Beil shares the stories of numerous survivors and their long battle to get Hadden charged with and convicted of sexual abuse and to hold the university accountable.

What they're saying: So why was Beil, a Dallas reporter, digging into the story of a doctor in New York?

• "Because it needed to be done," she tells Axios.
• "I was shocked to learn that he had been arrested in his office, charged by the district attorney — and yet living a comfortable life at home as a retiree, and not in prison."
