James is joined by comedienne Tania Edwards for a conversation that begins with personal injuries and dubious car-hire escapades, before veering into Fyodor Dostoevsky, theological subversion, horse metaphysics, and the small matter of whether James is secretly MI5.

Spies and other Gods by James Wolff. This spy thriller is set apart from others by being narrated by a kind of collective voice of MI5 - it's the spies watching the spies. Sir William Rentoul, head of the service, takes great umbrage when an anonymous whistle-blower lays a complaint and a smart young parliamentary researcher is brought in to investigate. MI5 are particularly adept at ensuring she makes no progress, but she becomes a part of something much, much bigger, and which also gets Sir William back into the field after years driving an MI5 desk, with predictable results. The Dead Speak by Thomas Coyle. The author learned the science and art of forensics with the Metropolitan police in the UK, before eventually moving to New Zealand, after which he became involved in victim identification after the Boxing Day tsunami, and the Christchurch earthquake in 2011. It's a fascinating account about the training involved, and the painstaking processes which forensic investigators follow in the course of their critical work. It's an easy read although as he says, not for the faint of heart, with a good dose of black humour. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode, we discuss the latest Epstein document releases, including millions of pages of emails, photos, and warrant materials that name powerful figures from politics, finance, and tech, and why so few of those people have ever been seriously investigated or charged. Charlotte, Sarah, Mark, Glenn, and James wrestle with Kash Patel's sworn claim that there was “no indication” Epstein trafficked anyone to others, contrasting it with newly surfaced files and public crowd‑sourced research that strongly suggest multiple high‑level clients and enablers, and they openly question whether Patel effectively committed perjury to protect U.S. allies and national‑security interests. The conversation digs into how intelligence services like the CIA, MI5, and possibly Mossad may have used Epstein's operation for kompromat, why both Republican and Democratic administrations slow‑walked or redacted key information, and whether Trump's partial file release and Fani Willis–style media performances reflect systemic rot rather than partisan one‑offs. Charlotte then outlines the “cult of Molech” idea—ancient child‑sacrifice worship echoed in modern abortion politics and alleged elite abuse—while Sarah links grooming and trafficking dynamics to real survivor stories from Epstein's circle, emphasizing how predators leverage both extreme vulnerability and relentless ambition. The group debates whether the Epstein saga is a genuine reckoning or just another distraction from wars and current frauds, ultimately agreeing that even if prosecutions are difficult because of venue, time, or redactions, the public still needs unvarnished exposure of names and methods so the system can “implode” and reset rather than be protected by managed denial.

Xi Jinping is purging again. Generals once seen as untouchable are gone, rivals erased, loyalty enforced through fear. Is this the move of a leader under real threat or the paranoia of a man who has ruled too long and trusts no one? To find out more, Venetia talks to Political Scientist Shanshan Mei from RAND Corporation.UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been to Beijing, the first British leader to do so in eight years, talking trade, visas and whisky tariffs while security concerns barely made the script. We hear from The Telegraph's Ben Riley-Smith, behind the smiles come burner phones, burner laptops, fears of honey traps and even planes being bugged. Economic opportunity versus national security. Values versus power. Meanwhile Britain faces its own reckoning. Spies in Parliament. Phones hacked inside Downing Street. A vast Chinese mega embassy rising in central London amid warnings from MI5. Venetia is joined in the studio by The Telegraph's Gareth Corfield and Rozina Sabur to discuss the extent of the national security threat posed by China.Read Rozina Sabur's hacking scoop: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/26/china-hacked-downing-street-phones-for-years/Read Gareth Corfield's embassy scoop: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/12/revealed-china-embassy-secret-plans-spy-basement/Read Colin Freeman's analysis: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/27/general-zhang-youxia-chinas-nuclear-secrets/Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Min 4: EL CABALLERO DE LOS SIERE REINOS. (HBO MAX) 3,5 estrellas El caballero de los Siete Reinos es el regreso más desengrasante, luminoso y humanista al universo de Juego de tronos. Una precuela esperadísima ambientada un siglo antes de los acontecimientos de la serie madre que adapta los relatos de George R. R. Martin y que apuesta por el relato de aventuras clásico, la épica cotidiana y la camaradería frente a la grandilocuencia del poder. Desarrollada por Ira Parker y Ryan Condal, la serie sigue el viaje errante de Ser Duncan el Alto —interpretado con nobleza física y melancólica por Peter Claffey— y su joven escudero Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), futuro Aegon V Targaryen, en un Poniente todavía marcado por las secuelas de la rebelión Blackfyre. Min 21: EL ROBO (PRIME VIDEO) 3 estrellas Thriller británico recién estrenado en Prime Video que toma la fórmula del atraco clásico y la reconfigura en clave contemporánea, poniendo a prueba la moral y las lealtades de una sociedad que parece presa de sus propios anhelos económicos. Creada por Sotiris Nikias y dirigida por Hettie Macdonald y Sam Miller, la producción sigue a Zara (Sophie Turner), una oficinista de una firma financiera atrapada en el atraco de miles de millones de libras de los fondos de pensiones de trabajadores corrientes, un golpe que no solo desata la violencia física del asalto sino toda una red de dilemas éticos, investigaciones policiales y juegos de poder que trascienden la mera logística del robo. A lo largo de sus seis episodios, la serie equilibra la tensión del suspense —marcada por la intriga de quién está detrás del plan y por qué— con el drama humano de sus protagonistas, mientras el inspector jefe Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) intenta desentrañar una trama cuyos hilos conectan con intereses del MI5 y con motivaciones personales que complican tanto la persecución como la empatía; aunque algunos críticos señalan que su ritmo puede tropezar entre la acumulación de giros y la exploración superficial de personajes, El robo logra mantener un pulso narrativo que invita a reflexionar sobre cómo la codicia, la vulnerabilidad social y la ambición individual se entrelazan en una era donde el dinero y la justicia parecen más frágiles que nunca. Min 28: THE BEAUTY (DISNEY PLUS) 4 estrellas The Beauty es la última y de nuevo trasgresora apuesta de Ryan Murphy y Matthew Hodgson. Plantada como una evidente heredera de la película "La sustancia", extiende la sensación de fábula satírica y grotesca la obsesión contemporánea por la perfección física, colocando a la estética como virus literal cuando un misterioso patógeno de transmisión sexual convierte a sus víctimas en seres físicamente perfectos antes de desencadenar consecuencias horrendas y letales; protagonizada por Evan Peters (Cooper Madsen) y Rebecca Hall (Jordan Bennett) como dos agentes del FBI que siguen un rastro de muertes inexplicables en el mundo de la moda que los lleva desde París hasta Venecia, Roma y Nueva York, mientras se enfrentan a Byron Forst (Ashton Kutcher), un magnate tecnológico dispuesto a todo para proteger su droga milagrosa (“The Beauty”) y su imperio, y a El Asesino (Anthony Ramos), su letal ejecutor, en una narración que mezcla investigación, conspiración y horror corporal con dosis variables de humor negro. Min 38: BSO "ROBIN HOOD" (PRIME VIDEO) 5 estrellas La banda sonora de Robin Hood —la serie de aventuras históricas creada por Jonathan English y John Glenn y protagonizada por Jack Patten como Rob/Robin Hood y Lauren McQueen como Marian— es un ejercicio de épica moderna y tradición sinfónica que firma con personalidad Federico Jusid, compositor argentino-español con una trayectoria sólida en cine y televisión, capaz de transitar desde el drama íntimo hasta la grandiosidad orquestal con facilidad; estrenado como álbum oficial el 7 de noviembre de 2025 bajo Lakeshore Records y disponible con 26 pistas que recorren los hitos narrativos de la serie, el score de Jusid equilibra motivos heroicos, coros y texturas instrumentales que evocan tanto la vastedad de los bosques de Sherwood como la tensión de la lucha contra la corrupción normanda, sirviendo de columna sonora para una historia clásica de justicia y fraternidad que se reinterpreta para el público contemporáneo.

Ein bislang geheimes Papier aus dem Bundeskanzleramt zeigt, wie die Zukunft des deutschen Auslandsnachrichtendienstes BND aussehen könnte. Gezielte Sabotageakte, Hacking und mehr Befugnisse für Massenüberwachung: So will die Bundesregierung den Bundesnachrichtendienst offenbar zu einem mächtigen Geheimdienst ausbauen. In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt Florian Flade von der Recherchekooperation NDR, WDR und Süddeutscher Zeitung, wie sich die deutsche Spionagearbeit verändern würde, wenn der Entwurf so umgesetzt würde - auch angesichts der hybriden Bedrohung durch Russland.

China's controversial ‘super embassy' has been approved, after years of debate over the security risks. Campaigners had called on ministers not to give the site the green light, given its proximity to important internet cables that support the City of London. MI5 have admitted they can't 'wholly eliminate' the national security risks around the site. Megan McElroy is joined by James Heale and Sophia Gaston, research fellow at King's College London, to discuss. There's more international chaos for Keir Starmer too – overnight, Donald Trump described plans to hand over the soverignty of the Chagos islands as 'an act of great stupidity.'

By late 1937, the Anglo-German Fellowship was under surveillance by both MI5 and the NKVD, as Stalin feared the organization might successfully broker an alliance between Britain and Germany against the Soviet Union. In November, Foreign Minister Lord Halifax visited the Berghof, where the cultural disconnect was so profound that he initially mistook Hitler for a footman. Although Halifax was appalled by Hitler's brutality—specifically his suggestion to shoot Gandhi to solve problems in India—he was momentarily fooled into believing Hitler did not want war. This meeting highlighted the dangerous gap between the civilized assumptions of British diplomacy and the predatory reality of the Nazi regime. NUMBER 8 1945-46 NUREMBERG

John le Carré, born David Cornwell in 1931, was a British novelist renowned for his morally complex spy fiction. Writing under a pen name gave him the freedom to publish while he worked in both MI5 and MI6, but after the breakthrough success of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, he left the intel community world for good. Le Carré's work spanned the globe, covering terrorism and drug networks, private banking and pharmaceutical exploitation, arms trades and resource plundering- often drawing on the people and places he knew firsthand. Le Carré's vast personal archive is all on display in the new John le Carré: Tradecraft exhibition at the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library. Historian and curator Jessica Douthwaite joins Sasha to talk about the exhibition and what it reveals about his life and work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the murky relationship between British intelligence, the Labour government, and the "gentleman capitalists" of the post-war era.Why was Harold Wilson, the most electorally successful British Prime Minister of the 20th century, targeted by paranoid elements within MI5 as a potential Soviet spy? We delve into Wilson's time at the Board of Trade in the late 1940s, where he forged controversial deals with the Soviet Union to secure timber for Britain's reconstruction.From the rise of corrupt tycoons like Robert Maxwell (who began as an intelligence officer in occupied Germany) to the class war between the "modernizing" Labour government and the "grouse moor" establishment, this episode uncovers the seeds of the plot to overthrow Wilson in the 1960s. It's a story of Cold War intrigue, antisemitism within the British elite, and the clash between a new technological Britain and the old school tie.Key Topics:The Plot Against Wilson: Why MI5 officers like Peter Wright suspected the PM was a KGB agent.The Timber Deals: How Wilson negotiated with Stalin's deputies to rebuild Britain.Robert Maxwell: The origins of a media mogul in the intelligence world of post-war Berlin.Class Conflict: The "Chapocracy" vs. Wilson's white heat of technology.Books Mentioned:Smear!

En numerosas ocasiones, los servicios secretos infiltran a sus mejores agente en grupos enemigos. Sin embargo, en ocasiones estas operaciones van mas lejos. El caso que contamos hoy nos deja helados: un infiltrado en la organizacion terrorista IRA llego a cometer 14 asesinaros. Pese a todo, el MI5 lo encubrio durante mas de una decada. Hechos similares se han producido en otras ocasiones... Por que no se actua a tiempo?

Chris Carr sits down with author Stephen Bates to discuss The Man Who Sold Honours and the extraordinary life of Maundy Gregory—actor, fixer, conman and sometime MI5 asset at the heart of Britain's original cash-for-honours scandal. They unpack how Gregory monetised access to power, became the only person ever prosecuted under the 1925 law aimed at stopping the sale of honours, and what his story reveals about the long, murky history of buying peerages. The conversation then jumps to today's political funding battles—from parties' dependence on wealthy donors to recent cash-for-honours rows and Boris Johnson's approach to transparency—to ask what all this says about the health of British democracy.

What can the world of corporate innovation learn from the people who spend their careers dealing with risk, secrecy, and the unknown every single day? That question stayed with me throughout my conversation with Susie Braam, the former head of innovation inside the United Kingdom's national security agencies.  In this episode, I step into territory that most of us will never experience firsthand. Susie takes us inside the thinking, culture, and decision-making that shaped innovation across MI5 and MI6, and how those lessons translate into the way we build and lead modern organizations. I talk through her journey from operational counter-terrorism work to being asked to create innovation capabilities across the intelligence community. What struck me most was how she learned to break through silos that were deeply entrenched, sometimes to the point where teams refused to sit in the same room.  Susie explains how risk is viewed very differently within national security, what it means to make decisions with incomplete information, and how leaders can learn to think in terms of probabilities rather than certainties. Her stories reveal how culture, communication, and curiosity can become the real engines of change, even in the most highly regulated environments. We also explore what corporate innovators can borrow from intelligence work, including how to create genuine alignment across organisations, how to make decisions with imperfect data, and how to build innovation systems that actually move.  Susie shares the pressure innovators face when resources are scarce, careers are on the line, and progress is slow to measure. She leaves us with powerful reflections about the kind of mindset shift the world needs now, far beyond technology itself. So the real question becomes this. Are we ready to rethink how we lead, collaborate, and take risks? I would love to hear your thoughts.
