HBO Max's Award-Winning Podcast Program Announces 'HBO Docs Club' Series

On Monday, March 21st, HBO Max is launching the "HBO Docs Club" podcast, a deep dive into a wide variety of titles from HBO Documentary Films, past and present.

The first episode is about Atlanta's Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children, the critically-acclaimed 2020 five-part docuseries chronicling the Atlanta Child Murders, which occurred between 1979 and 1981 when at least 30 African-American children and young adults disappeared or were murdered in Atlanta.

HBO's rich catalog of intimate and thought-provoking documentaries highlight stories that move us, captivate our imaginations, and encourage us to ask big questions. On "HBO Docs Club," hosts Brittany Luse (For Colored Nerds) and Ronald Young Jr. (Solvable) talk with filmmakers, subjects, and experts, going beyond the docs and deepening the conversation through lively and thoughtful dialogue, exploring what these documentaries can teach us about the past, providing updates on where the stories stand in the present and looking ahead at their potential impact in the future.

HBO Docs Club is produced by HBO Max and Pineapple Street Studios. Episodes will showcase fan-favorites from the HBO documentaries vault.
