Joe Weisberg, the Emmy Award-winning creator of The Americans and a former CIA operative, meets Jack Barsky, who was a genuine Soviet "Illegal" operating undercover inside the United States. Host Rory Bremner hears about the amazing real-life inspiration for The Americans, why Joe's life as an agent was cut short and what happened to Jack when the FBI moved in next door. Series Producer: Paulo Garrett. A Cup and Nuzzle Production. From Spyscape, the home of secrets.

Long before Joe Weisberg created the award-winning television show The Americans, he served in the CIA. His brief period in the agency informed story lines in the show and helped shape Weisberg's views on espionage. Eventually, he came to believe that spying does more harm than good in the world.

Russia's effort to undermine the 2016 U.S. election shows that covert operations are as much a danger now as they were at the height of the Cold War. The staff writer David Grann moderated a panel at the 2013 New Yorker Festival that included Tony Mendez, the former C.I.A. agent whose exploits in Iran inspired the movie “Argo”; Jeff Moss, who founded the hacker conference DEFCON and now advises the Department of Homeland Security; Stella Rimington, a former director of the British intelligence agency M.I.5; and Joe Weisberg, the former C.I.A. officer who created the TV show “The Americans.” They debate the value of human intelligence versus surveillance, the differences between American and British intelligence, the ethics of assassination and drones, and whether espionage sometimes does more harm than good.   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
