Step into the Antarctic and unleash your inner detective with COLD TAPES for the chance to win Super Sleuth of the Year 2025 and £10,000 at https://coldtapes.com

Set against the backdrop of Antarctica's six-month Winter Over, which is 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.

Start your investigation from 15th April and head to coldtapes.com to charge your suspect. Pay £5 to access the entire investigation instantly ad-free PLUS your ticket to enter the competition*.

The winner will receive the prestigious award of Super Sleuth of the Year at CrimeCon 2025 and a £10,000 reward.

*Over 18s and residents of Great Britain only. Ts&Cs apply.

Wondery+ subscribers can access episodes of COLD TAPES early and ad-free!

Re-discover the amazing story of the 1999 cult classic - Planescape: Torment.


A fully voiced re-telling of the game's story with a modern take and narrative drive.


I hope to follow on from Rhyss Hess' example in lovingly creating an homage to this wonderful story, that aims to allow new and existing fans to enjoy the narrative in an episodical, fully voiced, unofficial audio series. I will be mostly using Dan Simpson's in-depth guide to cover as much content as possible in one single playthrough.


This series began as a way to challenge and stretch my voice over and audio editing capabilities; and since, has become a vast passion project where I re-experience one of my all-time favourite stories, bringing renewed life to the beautifully written characters.
