MrBallen's Medical Mysteries will debut this fall on Amazon Music and Wondery+ before going wide on all other major podcast platforms.

We're thrilled to build on this collaboration with a new show that continues to dive into areas where other podcasters fear to tread. Wondery knows firsthand from our success with our Dr. Death franchise how chilling and compelling medical stories can be. And no one can tell a story like MrBallen. That's why he's amassed such a beloved fanbase."
"I'm excited to expand into the world of medicine and dive into these unexplained mysteries," said Allen. "MrBallen's Medical Mysteries is the most logical next step in continuing on our collaboration with Amazon Music and Wondery, to further our brand with new storylines and topics, and still keeping to the MrBallen storytelling style."
