    Staline-Trotski, le tsar et le prophète (1/2)

    "La veuve de Lénine s’est insurgée contre l’embaumement, contre les funérailles, contre tout ! Et c’est là que Staline a dit « attention, je peux trouver une autre veuve de Lénine immédiatement »." Mexico, 20 août 1940. Trotski est assassiné d’un coup de piolet dans le crâne. Avec cette mort prend fin un duel au cœur du communisme. Staline, le maître du Kremlin, a fini par éliminer celui qui a toujours été son rival. Tout sépare les deux hommes. Le fils du cordonnier géorgien contre l’intellectuel juif, le calculateur méthodique contre l’enthousiaste brillant, le cynique contre l’idéaliste. Un duel politique, un duel pour le pouvoir, mais surtout et avant tout, un duel à mort. “Staline-Trotski, le tsar et le prophète” est un podcast coproduit par Initial Studio et Label Image, adapté du documentaire audiovisuel éponyme produit par Label Image et réalisé par Alain Frerejean et Marie-Laurence Rincé.

    S1E5 Singin' In Bahrain

    THE BLURB: At first glance Bahrain was a good starting assignment. It was a veritable paradise, a great place to learn without much pressure. The US Navy was based there. And, it was a literal paradise. Working (on the surface) for the State Department, John pissed off Bahrain's Prime Minister while charming its Emir. The days of no pressure ended with a literal bang when terrorists blew up the Khobar Tower, a building housing US Air Force personnel in nearby Saudi Arabia, plunging John into action.

    S1E4 Good Spies, Bad Endings

    THE BLURB: Among the things that make spies tick is fear. Fear of being caught - and then tortured and/or killed. Stories like Beirut Station Chief Bill Buckley's are what keep spies like John Kiriakou up at night. Buckley came to the CIA from the US Army where he was a highly decorated special forces officer. Once recruited by the CIA, Buckley served successfully in places like Cambodia, Egypt and Pakistan. Beirut was another story - a difficult one filled with questions.

    S1E9 The Hothead

    THE BLURB: The very things that made Athens a great counter-terrorism assignment also made it incredibly dangerous. John's intensive training was designed to make him paranoid. It succeeded. Not all threats were terrorism. Some were just local criminals being criminals. Still, living in Athens was mostly a joy. There was ample good food and culture. But the threat of violence was both persistent and pervasive. So was the paranoia. SHOW NOTES For more great podcasts like Dead Drop, please visit https://costardandtouchstone.com/ Hosted on Acast.

    S1E8 The James Bond Academy

    THE BLURB: When John turned his back on being a deskbound analyst in favor of risking his neck out in the field, he knew he'd made the right decision. Blowing things up - including cars - and playing spy games made him incredibly happy. Who wouldn't be happy? In this episode, John takes you way behind the scenes at the CIA's "James Bond Academy" - an actual place (just not with that name) where the CIA trains its agents how to be the best spies they can be.

    S1E7 The Shadow Of Richard Welch

    THE BLURB: On the one hand, being assigned to handle counter-terrorism in Athens was a dream job. On the other, it had nightmarish implications and very real dangers up to and including assassination. That's what happened to a former Athens station chief, the highly regarded Richard Welch. A Greek terrorist group assassinated Welch outside his residence after he attended a Christmas party. In this episode, John comes face to face with Welch's shadow - and begins to sense something of his own future in it.

It doesn't take long for John to hanker instead for something more satisfying: something in operations - out in the field. Something a little more dangerous...

    S1E3 Golden Boy

    THE BLURB: Having been recruited into the CIA by legendary CIA officer Jerry Post - and by applying himself completely - John's CIA career took off with a bullet. If ever there was a CIA Golden Boy, John was it. That fact that he came up as a golden boy would prove ironic in the end. In this episode, John goes from briefing the President in the Oval Office to the theatre of war itself: Iraq. It's good to be a "Golden Boy". But it isn't all good.
