Adrenaline: False Idols

ADRENALINE is a collection of Realm’s most riveting thrillers, introduced by host Neil Hellegers. Every season, a new audio series will bring you to the edge of your seat — and keep you there. With episodes dropping weekly, you’ll never be without something to keep the adrenaline flowing.


Whether you’re uncovering the secret of disappearing ships in the Bermuda Triangle, or in the race of your life against time and your evil doppelgänger, you may want to watch your back, as things are not always as they seem. The suspense and excitement of ADRENALINE will show that fight or flight are not the only options in the face of danger. Sometimes you just need to keep listening…


This month, we are featuring a story called False Idols: an FBI linguist returns home to Cairo and goes undercover as an Egyptian heiress. Positioned in the middle of the city’s glittering elite, she uncovers the link between the art world and a terrorist network.


Adrenaline: False Idols is a Realm production, written by Lisa Klink, Patrick Lohie, and Diana Renn. Performed by Lauren Ezzo. Listen Away.
