EARS TO THE GROUND-

? Throw an ear into the shadowy world of intelligence with The Spy Who podcast. This podcast — currently in its eighth season — peels back the layers of the espionage world, where spies dodge danger, make impossible choices, and sometimes look out for themselves as much as their country. But unlike any other whistleblower or true crime podcast, this show dives into stories we were never supposed to hear — and it’s one heck of a ride.

The most recent season tells the story of Sergei Skripal, a military intelligence officer in a post-Soviet Russia he didn’t exactly sign up for. Lost in the chaos of Russia’s new democracy, Skripal jumps at a mysterious money-making offer from a shady wine dealer. It’s only later that he realizes that this small choice has launched him into one of the wildest spy stories of our time.

It’s essentially a cocktail of suspense, history, and a good dose of mystery that'll have you hooked. It’s like sitting around a campfire, except the stories are about real spies playing a high-stakes game — with their lives.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can listen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Wondery, and Amazon Music.
