  • 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.

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.

Great plot

Thought it was very well put together piece of drama, however I am sure I must have missed a bit of the story of why Chas seemed to have a definite non -Yorkshire accent, dare I even say slightly European at times, especially when his teenage Chaz did speak with a Yorkshire accent. This did kind of put me off. Apart from that well done.

An absolutely addictive series

I love to read, but have never listened to an audio book, radio play, or podcast, so RADIOMAN was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The soundscape is so layered and immersive, and the voice acting is so well done, I felt like I was IN the story, hearing what was going on around me from all sides. It paints such vivid mental pictures, and it’s clear that it was a meticulously (well) crafted, high quality production.

The episodes flew by and the storyline is so gripping that I found myself up until four in the morning because I couldn’t stop listening! I watch a lot of true crime shows and can usually figure out “Whodunnit,” but I can honestly say that RADIOMAN had me guessing until the very end.

It was so enjoyable, infact, that I’ve decided to purchase an Audible membership (after listening to RADIOMAN with a free trial) in hopes of finding other stories like it, or better yet, that ILL KIPPERS will produce more content in this space in the future. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Joe Derrick are truly masters at work.

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!

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!

Worth a listen but slightly too much going on

Definitely agree with others listeners that there was too much going on in this story, too many noises, not clear when it was jumping from one scene to another.
I never felt a had a true grasp on what was going on, it was a shame as I enjoyed the acting.
I didn't expect the ending, but still confused over aspects of the story.
It didn't need all the extra music and sounds going on. Felt over produced

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.

Listen now you won't regret it.

Fantastic and very original drama. Took a couple of episodes to get into the rhythm but once I did I binged the entire series in a day. Great characters and nice to not be spoon fed a story like an audio book. The cast did a superb job at bringing the characters to life.

I think I need to listen again to appreciate it more and no doubt enjoy again

Fantastic music and score throughout that just adds to the drama.

Another fine ILL Kippers production can't wait to see what they do next.
