  • 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.

This podcast is addictive!

Becoming an expert of Northern accents!

Great podcast beautifully written by Joe Derrick! Brilliant alternation between the investigation line and personal storylines.
The original story was already great to start with but I also think all the subplots created keep the narration even more appealing and reletable to everyone. All the family dynamics are so on point and add to the story a pleasant genuineness.

Also, the atmoshpere of the place? Wow, it’s so tangible, the writing combined with the audio effects created such an intriguing world.
Two words about the Audio editing, sounds are crazy, so vivid and evocative. I suggest you to listen to it with headphones!
The cast is amazing, Nikolaj in particular! The performances are raw and intense!
Great job!

Acting great

Acting great but personally I found it hard to follow and somewhat confused at the end caused by the way it’s dramatised rather than written.

Kept me guessing until the end

Loved it. What you wish Radio 4 was doing. Intelligent, well-performed drama with a great, easily differentiated voice cast.

Is it Me

Whilst i thought the acting and production was excellent i cant help feeling that i have missed something in the story, because for the life of me i cannot work out what the old man, the cloud and the code were meant to signify because without them you basically did not need the entire last episode. Also some of the things that were put in the story, some might call them red herrings but i would call them fillers. Lets face it it was quite obvious who we were meant to believe was the killer so to me there were no twists, so as i said, is it me?...

Simply phenomenal

So incredibly well put together, it's literally like you're listening to a film. It keeps you guessing right up to the end and I don't think I've ever been more invested in a story. You can tell how much time and thought has gone into every aspect of this series, from the writing to the soundtrack and beyond and it makes for thoroughly immersive listening. And of course, its wonderful to hear Northern England as the centrepiece for the story. Excellent work by all involved!

absolutely love it

I absolutely love this podcast, the story is exciting and interesting. I wish there were more episodes of this story or that there will be more podcast stories from Nikolaj and the team at Ill Kippers Productions.

Meh

The story was something you'd expect from an amateur creative writing club. The only thing that takes it up a notch is the acting, but the actual story was boring, predictable and cringe.

Liked the story but not the music

I’m afraid the music did nothing for me but then I am an old man now so that might be expected. I enjoyed the story and the storytelling. I thought it was clever that I had two theories of who the murderer was from the outset and couldn’t jump one way or the other until the podcast revealed the solution. Some really good performances too, particularly David Morrissey’s.
