Our Editor's Take
Classified is a thrilling mystery podcast. The exciting show follows the story of Ivan Harris, played by Wyatt Russell. The hero finds himself stuck in Ravenholm Institute, a mental institution. Even though Harris says he is sane, the facility staff ignores those claims of sanity. Instead, this place is like something out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Harris may remind listeners of Randle Patrick McMurphy. That was the name of Jack Nicholson's character in that Oscar-winning movie.
In the Classified podcast, Harris gets tortured with methods designed to fix him. Doctor Bell, played by actor Monica Potter, is in charge of his care. She may remind listeners of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Listeners to this podcast should know that this fictional tale is not for family listening. Episodes describe torture and pain, an attempted escape, and lots of wondering about which is real and which is a delusion.
Russell, the lead voice in the Classified podcast, is also one of the show's executive producers. Marvel fans know him from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In that Disney+ miniseries, he portrayed Captain America. Russell played pro hockey before deciding to join the "family business" of acting. His parents are legendary actors Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
Anna Halberg and Spenser Cohen cocreated this show and also are executive producers. They are behind the movies Distant and Extinction. Supporting cast members include Brent Jennings, Angela Sarafyan, and Oliver Cooper. Classified came out in 2022 and has seven 30-minute episodes. The spy thriller has intricate plotlines. It may keep listeners guessing through each episode. Fans of dramatic tension and exciting stories may enjoy this program.
