About The Show
Secrets and Spies is a podcast that delves into the world of espionage, terrorism, geopolitics, and intrigue. Featuring interviews with best-selling authors, experts and former spies, this is a podcast you do not want to miss.
Not all episodes are directly about espionage as some topics, such as terrorism, are quite complex and require a look at the underlying ideology behind it to lead to a deeper understanding of the topic. Also, due to the nature of the podcast topics, some episodes delve into the contemporary politics behind an issue. The podcast does its best to remain balanced. However, the show does take a critical view of the MAGA movement, far-left/far-right politics and Trumpism.
Secrets & Spies is now part of the Spy Podcast Network: https://www.spypodcasts.com/
