Apple TV’s new podcast explores haunting true story involving a heart transplant

Apple TV has launched a new eight-episode true-crime podcast called "Heart," premiering on October 19. Hosted by Karen Kilgariff, the podcast centers around the tragic story of Sonny Graham, who receives a donated heart and falls for the donor's widow. However, both Sonny and his donor, Terry Cottle, meet their demise in the same manner, leading some to question if the heart transplant might have been influenced by the donor's trauma.

The podcast delves into the lives of the men and their families, piecing together court documents, public records, and firsthand accounts to uncover the truth behind their deaths. Apple TV subscribers can access all eight episodes simultaneously on October 19, while nonsubscribers will receive the first three episodes on the premiere date, followed by weekly releases every Monday through November 23.
