English · Espionage, Dramatic Readings

I Was a Communist for the FBI follows Matt Cvetic, an undercover agent who infiltrates the Communist Party in the United States. The series draws on the premise of Cvetic’s real-life work, presenting the personal strain of maintaining a secret identity while gathering information for the FBI.

Each radio drama places Cvetic inside situations where suspicion and divided loyalties can make even ordinary encounters dangerous. He must protect his cover among party members while remaining accountable to his FBI contacts, balancing the demands of his assignment against the risks to his family and private life.

The program combines espionage, crime, and political drama in a tense, direct style. Its appeal lies in the pressure of the double life: listeners follow not only the investigation, but also the uncertainty of whether Cvetic can keep his identity hidden and make it safely through each assignment.
