He's the host of the Out of the Shadows Podcast with nine episodes available now, and he has appeared on four episodes of the Secret Wars Uncovered series on the History Channel. This is Lucas's second appearance on the podcast. Today, he's back to discuss his research into the effects of covert action on the relationship between the US executive and legislative branches, specifically as it applies to Operation PB Success, the overthrow of the Guatemalan government in 1954. PB Success took place during what could be called the Golden Age of Intelligence Operations, which also coincided with very little formal oversight by Congress. Check out Luca's first appearance on episode 150: 'The President's Kill List' here.Connect with Luca:swansea.ac.uk/staff/l.trentaBluesky: @lucatrenta.bsky.socialCheck out the article, ' Secrecy and the Politics of Selective Disclosures: The US Government's Intervention in Guatemala', here.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02684527.2023.2279317Connect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show

What is happening behind closed doors in Britain's far right movement? On today's episode, we're joined by journalist Harry Shukman, the journalist who spent over a year undercover investigating the British far right. Drawing on his new book, Year of the Rat, Shukman sheds light on the secret meetings, pub gatherings, political canvassing, and neo-Nazi conferences at the heart of the extreme right-wing activity in Britain. Through his investigations, Shukman has effectively exposed the mechanics of how far-right ideologies – from eugenics to Holocaust denial – are being normalised across the country, often with surprising allies in big tech, government, and the mainstream media. Harry Shukman is a researcher at HOPE not hate, an anti-fascist organisation. Formerly a journalist, he worked as a news reporter for The Times and then a writer and editor for the Manchester Mill. Joining him to discuss the book is Carl Miller, the journalist, co-founder of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos, and host of crime podcast Kill List.

Life on Iran's Kill List & More! Listen to Former Trump Dep. National Security Advisor Victoria Coates give insider updates to the ongoing Iran Nuclear Negotiations. Victoria is currently Vice President of the Heritage Foundations' Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy. She recently authored - "Eradicating Iran's Nuclear Program: Peace Through Strength Is Not a Binary Choice Between Rushing to War or a Deal at Any Cost." In this critical discussion with Secure America Now's Allen Roth, Mrs. Coates underscores the immediate threat a nuclear Iran poses to American security and regional stability, and sharply criticizes the Biden administration's failure to leverage diplomatic pressure effectively. Key highlights from Victoria Coates: Diplomatic Urgency: A narrow diplomatic window exists—any deal must include full nuclear dismantlement, verified rigorously. Biden's Critical Missteps: Squandering Trump-era leverage has weakened U.S. negotiating power, enabling Iran's nuclear ambitions. National Security Risks: A nuclear-armed Iran threatens regional proliferation, terrorism, and direct hostility against the U.S. Strategic Action Needed: Coates advocates strategic, targeted actions to neutralize Iran's nuclear infrastructure, citing successful precedents by Israel in Iraq and Syria. U.S.-Israel Alliance: Strong cooperation between America and Israel is essential for mutual security and regional stability. Media's Dangerous Bias: False narratives by biased media escalate violence and threaten peace and security efforts.

We all have dreams we've postponed  and creative passions set aside while we handle life's practicalities. Award winning author Elissa Soave knows this struggle intimately. Having started law school at just 16, she spent decades in a profession that never quite felt right before finally pursuing her writing dreams in her mid-40s."Anybody can say 'not yet, not yet' but at some point you have to say no, I'm actually now going to prioritise what I like to do with my time," Elisa shares in our candid conversation about her journey from law to literature. This powerful sentiment forms the emotional core of our discussion about her new novel "Graffiti Girls" which follows four middle-aged women who decide to break the law by spray-painting feminist messages across their small Scottish town.Elissa also reflects on representation, deliberately centering working-class characters from small towns because "they are not represented enough in literature."  For anyone who's ever thought "someday I'll follow my passion," this episode serves as both inspiration and gentle challenge. Your time is finite. What brings you joy?Graffiti GirlsFollow Elissa Soave

Spying in South Asia: Britain, the United States, and India's Secret Cold War (Cambridge UP, 2024) is the first comprehensive history of India's secret Cold War. It examines interventions made by the intelligence and security services of Britain and the United States in post-colonial India and their strategic, political, and socio-cultural impact on the subcontinent. It showcases how the interventions of these intelligence agencies have had a significant and enduring impact on the political and social fabric of South Asia. The specter of a 'foreign hand', or external intelligence activity, real and imagined, has occupied a prominent place in India's political discourse, journalism, and cultural production. The book probes the nexus between intelligence and statecraft in South Asia. It analyses how the relationships between agencies and governments helped shaping Indian democracy. Through a lively cast of characters and an analysis of covert operations, the book explores Western (US and UK) as well as Soviet perceptions of India during the Cold War. At the same time, it points to India's agency in plying the Cold War game. The book also moves beyond the Cold War to explore Indian intelligence in the post-Cold War years and in the aftermath of 9/11. Looking at the relationship between intelligence, politics, society, and (pop)culture, the book asks why, in contrast to Western assumptions about surveillance, South Asians associate intelligence with covert action, grand conspiracy, and justifications for repression. In doing so, it uncovers a fifty-year battle for hearts and minds in the Indian subcontinent. Paul McGarr is a lecturer in intelligence studies at King's College London. He has published over two dozen peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on South Asian security and intelligence issues These have appeared in Intelligence & National Security, The Journal of Strategic Studies, Diplomatic History, The International History Review and many other journals and edited collections. He is also the author of two monographs, The Cold War in South Asia: Britain, the United States and the Indian Subcontinent, 1945-1965 published by Cambridge University Press in 2013 and Spying in South Asia: Britain, the United States and India's Secret Cold War published by Cambridge University Press in 2024.

Spying in South Asia: Britain, the United States, and India's Secret Cold War (Cambridge UP, 2024) is the first comprehensive history of India's secret Cold War. It examines interventions made by the intelligence and security services of Britain and the United States in post-colonial India and their strategic, political, and socio-cultural impact on the subcontinent. It showcases how the interventions of these intelligence agencies have had a significant and enduring impact on the political and social fabric of South Asia. The specter of a 'foreign hand', or external intelligence activity, real and imagined, has occupied a prominent place in India's political discourse, journalism, and cultural production. The book probes the nexus between intelligence and statecraft in South Asia. It analyses how the relationships between agencies and governments helped shaping Indian democracy. Through a lively cast of characters and an analysis of covert operations, the book explores Western (US and UK) as well as Soviet perceptions of India during the Cold War. At the same time, it points to India's agency in plying the Cold War game. The book also moves beyond the Cold War to explore Indian intelligence in the post-Cold War years and in the aftermath of 9/11. Looking at the relationship between intelligence, politics, society, and (pop)culture, the book asks why, in contrast to Western assumptions about surveillance, South Asians associate intelligence with covert action, grand conspiracy, and justifications for repression. In doing so, it uncovers a fifty-year battle for hearts and minds in the Indian subcontinent. Paul McGarr is a lecturer in intelligence studies at King's College London.

On today's episode: the untold history of Russia's deep cover spy programme. Shaun Walker is an international correspondent for The Guardian. He reported from Moscow for more than a decade, and his coverage of Russia's war in Ukraine was shortlisted for the Foreign Reporter of the Year category at the British 2023 Press Awards.  In his new book, The Illegals: Russia's Most Audacious Spies and the Plot to Infiltrate the West, Walker explores the untold history of Russia's deep cover spy programme, following its evolution from the talented “great Illegals” of the 1920s and '30s up to the 21st century, when agents maintained their fake identities and loyalties even after the fall of the Soviet Union. These deep-cover missions - some remarkable feats of espionage, others high-profile failures - could last for decades. Walker shines new light on the long arc of the Soviet experiment and its messy aftermath - and how that hidden history shaped Russia and the West. Joining him to discuss the book is Carl Miller, the journalist, co-founder of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos, and host of crime podcast Kill List.

1178 CIA Kill List: Is a Journalist's Exile the Price of Exposing a Pandemic Plot? Buckle up for a mind-bending descent into the abyss of government overreach and covert vengeance. In this explosive episode, investigative journalist Janet Phelan unveils a jaw-dropping tale of transnational repression that sounds ripped from a dystopian thriller—except she claims it's her reality. Filing an injunction against the CIA in June 2024, Phelan alleges a relentless campaign of chemical assaults, medical sabotage, and judicial stonewalling by U.S. authorities, all tied to her decades-long probe into judicial corruption and a chilling theory: a hidden pandemic delivery system poised to strike. From the mysterious death of her mother at the hands of an undercover fed to her exile in Mexico, her story is a volatile cocktail of courage, conspiracy, and controversy. Is she a fearless truthteller hunted by the deep state, or a lightning rod for skepticism? One thing's certain—this episode will leave you questioning where the line between paranoia and persecution truly lies. GUEST: Janet Phelan is an intrepid investigative journalist and author whose relentless pursuit of truth has thrust her into the eye of a storm. With a pedigree from UC Berkeley's East Asian Studies program and the University of Missouri's Graduate School of Journalism, her bylines have graced the Los Angeles Times, the San Bernardino County Sentinel, and beyond. Since 2004, she's carved a niche in independent media, exposing judicial corruption, elder abuse, and shadowy government ops. Her books, including EXILE and At the Breaking Point of History, fuse personal saga with intelligence exposés, predicting pandemics and global conflicts with eerie precision. Now living in Mexico after fleeing the U.S., Phelan has filed a bombshell injunction against the CIA, alleging chemical attacks and systemic silencing. A whistleblower to some, a provocateur to others, she remains a fierce advocate for human rights—and a lightning rod for debate.

Investigative reporter Bob Woodward once noted that assassination was the Scarlett letter of American politics because targeted killings challenge the image of the United States as a liberal democracy and the driving force behind a rules-based international order. In his new book, Luca Trenta documents how assassination and assassination attempts have been a persistent feature in US foreign policy. The US government has relied on a variety of direct methods as well as more indirectly laying the groundwork for local assassins.  Using primary documents and interviews, The President's Kill List meticulously documents how policymakers decided on assassination and the level of Presidential control over these decisions. The book analyzes the evolution of assassination policies and reveals how successive administrations - through private justifications and public legitimations - ensured that assassination remained an available tool. The podcast includes insightful comments on assassination and the Trump administration. The paperback is coming out in May 2025. Dr. Luca Trenta is an Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political and Cultural Studies at Swansea University. His previous publications include an earlier book, Risk and Presidential Decision-making: The Emergence of Foreign Policy Crises (Routledge, 2016) and he hosts Out of the Shadows, interviewing authors and experts in intelligence and covert operations. In his public-facing scholarship, Dr. Trenta has appeared in a History Channel documentary called Secret Wars Uncovered (2020) and he regularly contributes to and collaborates with media outlets such as the BBC.
