Service Announcement - Listener Questions & Adverts

Service Announcement - Listener Questions & Adverts

Hello, everyone. We hope you are well.

Matt and I are keen to get listener questions on future Espresso Martini Episodes. So, if you have a question or topic you would like us to discuss, email us here: secretsandspiespodcast@gmail.com

In your email, please include: 
  • Question or Topic with a relevant news or online publication link 
  • How you would like us to read out your name & location online

Adverts

Adverts are essential to keeping Secrets & Spies running. We have received feedback that there have been some repetitive adverts, and we have reached out to our online hosting service to see what can be done about that. We apologise for any irritation caused. 

We are now offering our new episodes advert-free on Patreon, so if you do want to get rid of adverts and are happy to directly support the show, please go to www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpies And depending on which level you pick, you will get a coffee cup or set of coasters.

Thank you so much for your support. Keep an eye out for our next Espresso Martini, which will drop on Saturday, 1st Feb. Have a great weekend!

All the best,
Chris & Matt

Secrets and Spies is produced by F & P LTD.
Music by Andrew R. Bird

Secrets and Spies sits at the intersection of intelligence, covert action, real-world espionage, and broader geopolitics in a way that is digestible but serious. Hosted by filmmaker Chris Carr and writer Matt Fulton, each episode unpacks global events through the lens of intelligence and geopolitics, featuring expert insights from former spies, authors, and analysts.

[00:00:00] Hello everybody, it's Chris here, hope you're well. I just wanted to drop a quick service announcement just to let you know about a few changes. So first of all, good news, espresso martini is now weekly. We will be doing that for the foreseeable future and if that changes we'll let you know. Matt and I are quite keen to get listener questions in. So what we're going to do is we're going to read out listener questions on the last espresso martini of each month. That's our sort of plan going forward. Obviously we will readjust that with holidays etc.

[00:00:28] So if you have a question for us or a topic for us that you'd like us to discuss on an espresso martini, drop us an email at secretsandspiespodcast at gmail.com. I'll put that in the show notes. Just drop us an email, give us your question or topic you'd like us to discuss with a relevant link. Please also tell us how you'd like us to read out your name on air because I know some people don't want to reveal their entire identity. That's absolutely fine. You're among friends here. No one likes revealing their identity.

[00:00:57] So yeah, just let us know how you'd like to be credited. And if you want us to say like where you were based, like if you're based in Washington, London, New York, or you want something more generic like the US or if you'd like us just to say via email or I don't know via telegram, fax, whatever. Just let us know. Then finally as well, obviously adverts are very important to our show. It's come to our attention recently. It's been some repetitive adverts.

[00:01:24] So we've reached out to our host who are in charge of what adverts do go out and we've given them that feedback. Now, if you don't like adverts, which I can totally understand, then join our Patreon page. If you go to patreon.com forward slash secrets and spies, all of our episodes now going forward will be available ad free on Patreon. And then by that way, you're directly supporting the show and then you won't have to enjoy adverts.

[00:01:50] But adverts are important for the show because it keeps the lights on and keeps us running. So if you don't want adverts, please join us on Patreon. And depending on which level you pick, you'll get a free cup or set of secrets and spies coasters. So thank you very much, everybody, for listening. And we have a new espresso martini coming out on Saturday. We look forward to sharing it. Take care. Bye for now.
