Hosted by former CIA analyst turned spy novelist David McCloskey, and veteran security correspondent Gordon Corera, this podcast unravels real-life spy stories, intelligence secrets, and the hidden power struggles shaping global events.
From Cold War espionage to modern-day intelligence agencies like the CIA, MI6 and Mossad, explore the world of double agents, classified missions, and the shadowy figures who operate in them.
