FORMER HOST OF
PODCAST SERIES
A story about female solidarity and empowerment
Carole’s voice has been heard millions of times through the podcast — creating a global sisterhood of women
Carole's journey into podcasting began in early 2023 when Novel Podcasts approached her with an intriguing idea: to narrate a podcast about her ex-boyfriend, Bob. Initially hesitant about delving into her personal life so publicly, she pondered the potential benefits of sharing her story. Perhaps by opening up about her experiences, others could find solace or relate to the challenges she had faced, ultimately inspiring women to confront adversity.

In Carole's words:
"With newfound determination, I decided to take the plunge. I partnered with Novel Podcasts, driven by the desire to explore the nuances of Bob’s twisted relationships, the lessons they teach us, and the growth they inspire in all of us. As the podcasting journey progressed, I dove headfirst into research, honing my storytelling skills, and learning the art of captivating audiences through audio."
"The podcast's launch surpassed all expectations, eliciting an overwhelming response of validation and solidarity. This unexpected transformation of my podcasting career has only fueled my excitement for new opportunities in the podcast and audio-narrating world. And I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next!"
“The Girlfriends is true crime done with wit, warmth and warrior women … a large part of the effect is the voice of Carole Fisher herself.”
"Our host is one of the girlfriends, Carole Fisher, and she’s great: funny, deliberate, clear.”

He’s perfect on paper but he’s quick to anger and he never talks about his ex-wife—who, it turns out, is missing and presumed dead. After Carole and Bob break up she tells her friend Mindy all about Bob’s wife and his bizarre behavior. You see, Mindy dated Bob too, in fact a lot of women in Vegas dated Bob and they all have their own strange stories to tell. Before too long they form a club dedicated to bitching about Bob, eating noodles and figuring out what happened to his wife, Gail. In this riveting nine part series, Carole Fisher uncovers the truth of Gail Katz’s death, the systems that failed her and all the girlfriends that brought her justice.
SEASON 2 : OUR LOST SISTER
There's one part of the story from season 1 that’s still a mystery ... during the investigation into Gail’s case, a torso washed up on Staten Island and was misidentified as Gail. Nobody knows her name or what happened to her after she was ruled out from the case. In Season 2, the amateur ladies detective club are back with a new mission: to uncover the identity of this woman and finally find Our Lost Sister.
