In the 1970s the epicentre of a vast LSD-producing operation was busted right here in Wales. In rural Ceredigion, in fact, from where they shipped acid the world over. Operation Julie was one of the world's biggest drug busts and now, Twin Town, House of Dragon and liquid gold-voiced Rhys Ifans is narrating a brand new podcast about the event, which you could call the 'real life Breaking Bad.'
The six-part BBC Sounds podcast, Acid Dream: The Great LSD Plot uncovers the gripping story behind Operation Julie and also features original music from Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys - reuniting the two Welsh icons after Ifans, who was the original singer of SFA, and then reunited with them for the Show Me Magic music video. The podcast takes listeners back to the 1970s to tell the tale of a brilliant chemist turned drug lord, an international LSD ring based in rural Wales, and a top secret police operation.
