Customer Reviews
Spy affair
Fabulous podcast which made me feel really bad for Maria how she was treated.
So interesting
As a U.K. listener I was unaware of the story, but a really interesting listen with great narration.
I like how you don’t get told what to believe - you get given information to make your own conclusions.
Good but ruined by adverts
The amount of adverts really distract me from the narrative
