Set in the early 1970s, the espionage comedy follows the CIA’s most emotionally unstable case officer, voiced by Jones, as he attempts to stop a mass terror attack in West Berlin, all told using “found audio” such as news reports, tapped phone calls, bugged offices, and people secretly wearing wires.

Napier is best known for his work on FX’s Married and Young from Comedy Central’s Reno 911 and Key and Peele.

Mike Griffin from Make Good Content and audiobook veteran Eric Jason Martin are additional producers on the project.
