Remi Adeleke, who is known for his roles in the movie Plane and the Prime Video series The Terminal List, has a new podcast that pays tribute to men and women who served in the American Special Forces. PopCulture.com obtained the trailer for Down Range, a new podcast series from Tenderfoot TV and Telegraph Creative. Adeleke, a former Navy SEAL, will host the podcast series along with former Army Ranger and Lieutenant Colonel Rich Choppa. The first two episodes will premiere on all podcast platforms on Nov. 2.ย
As the official synopsis states, Down Range “highlights the men and women who dedicate their lives to defend our country, while shining a light on highly-emotional, first-person narratives of heroism and sacrifice. With each episode, listeners will gain a full 360 experience, hearing bullets whistle overhead and crack as they set off mini-sonic booms just inches away, and feeling what it was like to silently drop onto battlefields, focusing on the bravery and courage it takes to risk everything in service for the mission.”
