About this listen

Join the fight. Tell the story. Survive the lie.


The Writer is a fictional, serialised audio drama exploring the events of an imagined World War Three.


When global conflict erupts, a young writer is drafted into the Foxtrot Unit, a psychological operations team tasked with documenting the war through stories that blend truth with deception. Their mission: to control the narrative. Some of what you’ll hear is true. Some isn’t. The question is … can you tell the difference?


All names, ranks and locations have been changed to protect the identities of those involved. Out of respect for the fallen, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred, according to the Foxtrot Unit’s classified reports.


Listener discretion is advised.

    World War III has begun.

    Oliver, a young aspiring writer, is drafted into a brutal military bootcamp where he forms unique bonds with fellow recruits Ben, Jayden and Noah, and comes under the command of Donovan, a hardened instructor who sees something in Oliver he doesn’t yet understand.

    But bootcamp is only the beginning.

    As his training comes to an end, Oliver is selected for ‘The Writer Initiative’; a classified psychological warfare program designed to blur the line between truth and fiction through controlled storytelling and propaganda.

    As war spreads across a fractured London, Oliver is pulled into a conflict far larger than he ever imagined. A conflict where words—his words—can be as dangerous as a firearm. In the end, only one question remains:

    How much of the war is being written… and how much of it is real?
