If you’re looking for an exhilarating escape from…erm…reality, this ten-part audio drama is perfect. A geopolitical thriller in which Russia attacks a Nato country. In which the US is an unreliable ally. I’ve only listened to the first few episodes that are available, but consider me hooked!

From Weekly Filet #586, in September 2026.
