I Was a Communist for the FBI
The Black Gospel
von
I Was a Communist for the FBI is a crime and espionage radio drama inspired by the experiences of former Communist Party member Matt Cvetic, who worked undercover for the FBI. The series follows Cvetic as he navigates the dangers of maintaining his cover while gathering information about Communist activity.
Episodes combine undercover intrigue with the pressures of Cvetic’s divided life: he must earn the trust of those he investigates while concealing his work from people close to him. The stories draw on the tension of surveillance, suspicion, and shifting loyalties, presenting the action as dramatic radio storytelling rather than documentary reporting.
The result is a tense, direct thriller shaped by the risks of a long-term undercover assignment. Its focus on one operative’s precarious position gives the series a personal edge alongside its political and criminal conflicts.
