    Our friends at Voyage Media have a new fiction podcast, SOMEONE IS KILLING THE WOLFHOUNDS, and it might be the best one they've ever done. Imagine the movie TRAINING DAY, but set in Vietnam, and based on a true story. A young recruit arrives in Vietnam and discovers that his Lieutenant is a deranged lunatic who is either going to get him and his entire unit killed or court-martialed. This young recruit and his squad decide that the only way they're going to get out of Vietnam alive is to murder their Lieutenant. This is a WILD story. It's intense, it's thrilling, it has incredible performances, sound design, and music, and even if you don't know or care at all about Vietnam, it's just a flat-out great thriller. Imagine SAVING PRIVATE RYAN if all the guys on the squad decided they needed to murder Private Ryan to get out of the war. Look for SOMEONE IS KILLING THE WOLFHOUNDS, from Voyage Media, anywhere you get podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
