    S3 Episode 7 - Telefon

    Sleeper Agents! Station Wagons! Soviet Hockey Superiority (circa 1977)! Don’t answer the phone and don’t take your eyes off the ice, because Nick & Ray are back and they have promises to keep!  Listen carefully, as everybody’s favourite reactivated podcast agents get lovely, dark, and deep on a paranoid cold war spy thriller (light) action near classic.  Could this be the moustache zenith? Is this the 70’s or 80’s? Is that an Arby’s uniform? All will be answered, dear lister, when adventure calls, and its name is TELEFON.

    Dads! Dumpers! Discipline! Grab your snakes and cut your veggies, because Nick & Ray are back, and they're sending this one up the chain!
