Customer Reviews
Absolutely fantastic
Absolutely fantastic espionage podcast! The guests almost feel too good to be true- historians, writers, and actual operatives from the field!
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. 😬
Time For New Material
Hey Rory! Trump has been out of office for quite a few years now- time to find new material for your bad “jokes.” Don’t you Brits have your own politicians to demean? In case you’re not aware of it, there’s a senile old man and his gang of incompetent fools in the White House providing plenty of new material. Otherwise, your guests are fascinating- too bad you’re pathetic.
