  • Summary

  • When a series of gruesome murders leaves a community in despair, a former local DJ decides to start a podcast and do something about it. But as his following grows, long-buried secrets from the past resurface revealing not everyone is who they truly seem....

    Radioman explores themes of grief, trauma, deceit and family within a country at war with itself, questioning how much the past impacts the present and how betrayal, in its most extreme form, can rip a family to pieces. As one man journeys to catch a killer, will he survive the pressures to succeed or ultimately be consumed by his own downfall?

    Starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), David Morrissey (The Walking Dead), Divian Ladwa (Ant-Man), and Cathy Tyson (Mona Lisa). With audio production, sound design & original music by Benbrick (Have You Heard George’s Podcast?).

    A Vespucci and Big Light Entertainment production for Audible Originals.

GRIPPING CONCLUSION!

Great story! Hard to follow at times - Background music congestion, noises, weaknesses in marration at times. Still, medium-to-fast paced story that improved with each episode, winding up in a shocking conclusion!

Worth hearing, in my opinion!

GRADE: B+ to A-

Gripping & well-acted!

This 10-part story had me guessing the whole time. I had an idea of who I thought it was and I was totally surprised when the culprit was someone else. Thinking back on it, the signs were there - which helps make it a clever mystery - but I went in knowing nothing about the real horror Radioman was based on. I listened as a fan of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, not because I like crime stories! All the actors did a stellar job. I really felt for the sympathetic characters, really disliked the less friendly ones and was upset about the injustices that befell so many. The original soundtrack for the scenes fit well. I was impressed with the sound editing! I thought the family history of the wife was unnecessary, though, and didn't understand who the homeless man was and why he was used the way he was. He interacted with more than one person so if he is supposed to be imaginary, his presence didn't make sense to me. (Apologies for being cryptic - I AM trying not to spoil it!) Some of the ways certain parts were introduced were kind of clumsy, but most unfolded at just the right times to maximize big reveals., Overall Radioman is compelling and thought-provoking, as enjoyable as a murder mystery podcast could be!

Brilliant!

Very enjoyable. I even listened a second time to pick up the subtle clues I’d missed. Well done.

good but...

I couldn't get past the first few episodes because of the poor sound mixing. one moment the voices are whisper soft, then next moment will be blaring music or sound effects. I had a hard time following the storyline because of this. maybe I needed to give it more time. it's too bad as it seems a lot of production time went into this.

Busy and loud and can't be removed from my phone

There are a lot of moving parts in this story, which, in my opinion, doesn't lend itself well to an audio format. Overall the story is kind of interesting, but the background sound effects are so freakin' loud it impeded my ability to comprehend what the heck was going on, and in pivotal moments, no less. After the fact, I understand Audible refers to this as "immersive". I'll look for that descriptor in the future so as to avoid it. The voice acting is credible, and at least it was a free waste of time.

An interesting mystery

An original take on a well-established trope. The voice acting was really good! The story was interesting and kept you guessing.
