marketing

To market the podcast, Wondery rented a billboard directly across from the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Plano (Baylor Plano). This was covered again only a few hours after the installation by Clear Channel Outdoor after several complaints were received. The Baylor Plano denied any involvement in the removal of the billboard.

Dr. Tod received mostly positive reviews. According to GQ Magazine, the series is "the scariest podcast of the year".

TV adaptation

On October 3rd, 2018 it was announced that Universal Cable Productions had started development of the TV series, with Patrick Macmanus, showrunner of Happy !, who will be responsible for executive production and scriptwriting.
