Espionage Exchange is a podcast about real spies, secret missions, undercover operations, and other stories that sound like they belong in a movie. It started with my interest in Indian spy movies and the real stories behind them, which eventually led me to explore interesting intelligence stories from all over the world. Each episode takes a look at one of these stories and breaks down what happened, who was involved, and what we actually know.
