The Man Called X
North of Thirty Eight
by
The Man Called X follows Ken Thurston, an American agent who travels the world on assignments for an unnamed government agency. With his assistant, Pegon Zellschmidt, Thurston investigates threats and tangled situations in locations far from home.
The program is an adventure drama built around international intrigue, danger, and problem-solving. Each story places Thurston in a new setting, where he must gather clues, navigate local complications, and act before a crisis grows worse. The radio format brings these journeys to life through dialogue, sound effects, and a dramatic score.
Its appeal lies in the globe-spanning premise and the steady mix of suspense and action, with Thurston’s resourcefulness at the center. The episode title, “North of Thirty Eight,” suggests a particular assignment, while the series offers a broader listening experience of espionage-flavored adventure.
