Blood Stone

An archeologist discovers the truth of her own lineage, after she unearths an ancient relic that unveils a powerful, secretive cult that may already be unstoppable in their machinations to remake the world in their image.

Based on The Stone Of Secrets, Book 1 of The Stone Trilogy, by K.L. Nelson. You can find the series on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0716RDKQ7?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tkin_0&storeType=ebooks

Bear Hunt

350 British civilians are dead and Russia is responsible. Number 10 hits back as a hapless Prime Minister plays his hand in the age of regime decapitation.

Bear Hunt is a technically rigorous action drama exploring the political manoeuvres, operational challenges and conflict expertise required to assassinate a head of state.

Billed as a British Bourne, this geopolitical thriller pulls listeners into the white-hot corridors of power in Westminster and Washington. To the battlefields where the nation’s best learnt their killing trade. And to the mission itself, deep behind enemy lines.

Goalhanger’s award-winning drama team worked with current and former military and defence professionals to shape the most accurate and daring mission conceivable: a forensic exploration of what it takes, in the modern age, to kill the President of the Russian Federation.

Hosted by Colin Morgan (Merlin, Belfast) with guest host Katie Leung (Harry Potter, Bridgerton), The Haunted Library invites you deep into the stacks to hear works of classic horror brought to life, from Gothic novels to pulpy penny dreadfuls.

UnderGround Zero: 9/11 & The Mob | Starring Michael Imperioli & Steve Schirripa

Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa star in the untold true story of how the New York Mafia exploited the aftermath of 9/11.

Nearly 3,000 families lost loved ones that day, and a shocked world mourned alongside them. But for Five Families—the New York Mafia—the day meant something very different. While the world saw an unspeakable tragedy, they saw an opening: the business opportunity of a lifetime.

They might have succeeded were it not for one dedicated and courageous cop. Because of him, many of the men involved were convicted and imprisoned.

UnderGround Zero: 9/11 & The Mob is the shocking true story born in the immediate aftermath of 9/11—one that has never been told.

Names of the guilty have been changed to protect the innocent.
