English · Radio

I Was a Communist for the FBI is a dramatic radio series inspired by the experiences of former Communist Party member Matt Cvetic, who worked undercover for the FBI. The stories follow his dangerous double life as he gathers information while trying to maintain his standing among people who believe he shares their cause.

Each installment presents a suspenseful case shaped by secrecy, suspicion, and the risks of infiltration. Cvetic must navigate shifting loyalties and keep his identity hidden, with the tension coming from the possibility that a careless word or unexpected encounter could expose him.

The series blends espionage drama with a stark, urgent tone. Its focus on one agent’s precarious position gives the stories a personal edge, while the radio format brings the danger close through dialogue, sound, and the pressure of decisions made under cover.
