Cold Tapes

16 Suspects. 1 Murderer. Can you solve it?

Cold Tapes is an award-winning and Critically Acclaimed Murder Mystery Audio Drama inspired by True Crime podcasts.

Set against the backdrop of Antarctica’s six-month Winter Over, marked by perpetual darkness and isolation, our story delves into the intertwined lives and claustrophobic relationships of a small group of international scientists and crew stationed on a remote research base, Bowers Wilson.

In addition to the extreme conditions, the research station crackles with sexual tension, unexplained mysterious psychotic events, hidden criminal pasts and strange global conspiracy theories, thrusting any wannabe detectives into a gripping narrative surrounding the mysterious death of 33-year-old behavioural scientist Andrew Fairfield.

With only sixteen people left on the base, the murderer must be one of them. Join the diligent and obsessive DCI Tessa McCallister as she works around the clock to spearhead the police investigation from the UK and solve the murder from over 9,000 miles away.
