    Introducing: A History of the World in Spy Objects

    Introducing: A History of the World in Spy Objects

    The Enigma Machine. The B2 stealth bomber. The poisoned-tipped umbrella. Napoleon’s Briefcase of Secrets. As long as there has been conflict, there have been spies, and as long as there have been spies, there have been incredible gadgets and iconic objects. These are the stories of the tools that power the world of espionage, told by historian Alice Loxton. Coming soon to the Spyscape Podcast Network.

    Introducing: Daisy Ridley And Edward Norton in True Spies: The Oswald Project

    Introducing: Daisy Ridley And Edward Norton in True Spies: The Oswald Project

    A new season of True Spies kicks off with Daisy Ridley as the Narrator and Edward Norton as Lee Harvey Oswald. The Oswald Project tells the shocking story of Oswald – the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy – and his relationship with the CIA. Was he being trained by the CIA to become a KGB double-agent – or to take the fall for JFK’s murder? Or was he, as he claimed just before his own assassination, “a patsy”?
    Subscribers to SPYSCAPE+ – via Apple Podcasts – will have exclusive access to the first episode beginning on 11th July.
    Everyone else will be able to access the first episode of The Oswald Project from 18th July.

Absolutely fantastic

Absolutely fantastic espionage podcast! The guests almost feel too good to be true- historians, writers, and actual operatives from the field!

Ok

Guests are fascinating!

Unfortunately they’re overshadowed by a pompous narrative-puppet of a host constantly throwing softball/leading questions. Often to the point that the content feels completely rehearsed and unauthentic.

So many wasted opportunities for real content.

I need more!

This podcast is SO up my alley. I was thrilled to find it. I really hope there is another season. I’d love to hear from someone involved in the wonderful French series The Bureau. Also, please ignore the Trump fan’s whiny review. 😬
