The Razumov Files Podcast: Reimagining Conrad’s Spy Novel ‘Under Western Eyes’
Listen to the SPYSCAPE Podcast series The Razumov Files starring Jessica Brown Findlay
When young journalist Jessica Dean receives an unpublished manuscript from her great-grandfather, Joe, she soon finds herself flying across Europe to investigate century-old events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution.
Joe’s manuscript recounts his life in Geneva in the early 1900s and a love triangle that ends with his confession to the murder of a mysterious spy named Razumov. After discovering the existence of Razumov’s own diary, Jessica (voiced by actress Jessica Brown Findlay) uncovers a shocking secret that could implicate her family in a murder plot.
The Razumov Files is a radical reinvention of Joseph Conrad’s Under Western Eyes spy novel told through a gripping six-part podcast series.
