''Fodor's Guide to Espionage''

iHeartPodcasts, together with creator and producer Lars Jacobson, announce "Fodor's Guide to Espionage" podcast. The first episode will be available on March 13 with new episodes available on Wednesdays. Based on the true story of Eugene Fodor, the program explores the one of the greatest travel writers in the world, who secretly used his profession as a cover to spy for the CIA.

Taking place in the 1960s, this new podcast is a globetrotting, jet-setting spy series centered around the biggest events of the Cold War that will take listeners on an exotic vacation and high stakes spy mission every week.

Established in 1949, Fodor's has published more than 440 guides on over 300 destinations, and currently has more than 700 permanently placed researchers all over the world. In addition to having sold hundreds of millions of guide books over the last century, Fodor's remains one of the most popular travel guide publishers and internet tourist information sites to this day.

Ethan Corn ("Criminal Minds," "The Resident"), Lelia Symington ("Brut Force," "The Marksman"), and Jacqueline Emerson ("The Hunger Games," "FBI") will take listeners through history, fine dining and navigating the world through travel.

Creator and writer Lars Jacobson will produce the series alongside Sabrina Jaglom ("Jane," "Listening In") and Noel Brown for iHeartPodcasts. "Fodor's Guide to Espionage'' marks the first podcast out of Teleforce's first-look deal with iHeartMedia.
