  • 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.

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

A brilliant story with amazing actors!

I’ve discovered Radioman through Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Joe Derrick, from the production company Ill Kippers. When I heard about what the story was about I was instantly intrigued and couldn’t wait to listen to it. And I can say: Radioman totally exceeded my expectations! Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is my favourite actor so I was excited to see him in another form of acting: voice acting. And I can say he is just as brilliant in that as well! He really brought the character of Chas to life and he was just perfect as the narrator of the story. But honestly all the actors were amazing. Even though you only hear their voices, every character really had its own personality and made me care for them. I loved the relationship between Chas and his daughter, I was scared for all the women to be the next victim and I couldn’t wait to hear how the stories of the characters would continue. This is all thanks to the amazing cast of Radioman.

The story is nothing short of incredible. It’s mysterious, intriguing, it keeps you constantly guessing about who might be the killer and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Radioman isn’t just giving everything away from the start. Sometimes you meet characters or listen to a scene you can’t really place, but later on you get more pieces of the puzzle and suddenly the scenes you’ve listened to earlier start to make a lot of sense. This keeps you constantly on edge. Radioman expects some sort of activity from its listeners, which truly draws you into the story. It’s almost as if you are there next to Chas trying to unravel all the secrets. You’re immerged into the story and are part of Tanford and its community for 10 episodes.

Last but not least I have to say that the sound design of Radioman is phenomenal. You can exactly picture where the characters are – inside, outdoors, in a bar or at home – so you can almost see the scenes as a movie in your head. Even the murder scenes are done so well. It’s almost visceral. You can totally envision what the killer is doing.
And then we have the music. The music is just truly amazing. It has this kind of mysterious vibe that makes you want to keep listening to the story. It draws you in and it adds another layer to the story.

If you love a good crime story with amazing characters, a fantastic story and incredible sound design then you will absolutely love Radioman. This podcast is nothing short of phenomenal and I can’t wait to relisten to this story.

Thank you for creating this incredible podcast!
