Whether you’re uncovering the secret of disappearing ships in the Bermuda Triangle, or in the race of your life against time and your evil doppelgänger, you may want to watch your back, as things are not always as they seem. The suspense and excitement of ADRENALINE will show that fight or flight are not the only options in the face of danger. Sometimes you just need to keep listening…

This month, we are featuring a story called False Idols: an FBI linguist returns home to Cairo and goes undercover as an Egyptian heiress. Positioned in the middle of the city’s glittering elite, she uncovers the link between the art world and a terrorist network.

WARNING: Addictive!

Would recommend for anyone who loves listening to thriller podcasts! The story kept me on the edge of my seat! Perfect for the long drives I enjoy taking and listening to while I work for 12+ hours each day!

Only just now finished the first season, but I absolutely love listening to this podcast! The host is absolutely hilarious in the way that he would do a fake out before starting a commercial, and I cannot believe people actually got mad about that. This show is hands down in my top 5 podcasts of all time!

This is a GREAT podcast!!!

I don’t know why people are so hard on the host if you don’t like him fast forward. I think he’s great and does a great job setting up and summarizing the story after. He is a talented actor. Most stories start off slow they have to introduce you to the new characters. There are a a new set of characters every time which puts more work on the writers. I think the writers, production, and actors do a great job!!! Changing the dynamic of every season was something to adapt to but I like it.

LOVE the stories. NIX the host

The host brings absolutely nothing to the table. And he’s pretty annoying. I know that’s mean. I’m sorry. But I even question if he actually listens to the stories beforehand before he records his commentary? Because sometimes (often) his contributions only make sense tangentially… if that.
