RQ Network Feed Drop – Cold Tapes– 001 Operation Antelope

Season 8
•

We are featuring a feed drop from a brilliant show on the RQ Network: Cold Tapes. Created by the talented team at Free Turn Production.


Cold Tapes is an award winning murder mystery Audio Drama inspired by true crime. ,

In this first episode called “Operation Antelope” The brutal murder of Andrew Fairfield on a remote Antarctic base thrusts DCI Tessa McCallister into the claustrophobic lives of an isolated community of international scientists and crew.

Through police interviews, covert recordings, and audio diaries, Tessa hears hidden agendas, concealed criminal histories, violent psychosis, and dangerous conspiracy theories that help her uncover the truth behind the murder.

With the murderer still on the base it’s a race against time to untangle the maze of deception, revealing chilling truths buried beneath the ice.


16 Suspects. 1 Murderer. Can you solve it?


Introduction and outro by Shahan Hamza. Listen to Cold Tapes on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Cold Tapes on its official website.
