Podcasts about secret agents

In this episode of the Industry Spotlight, joining host Sam D'Arc are John Keohane, VP of Operations and Partner at Temecula Valley Buick GMC, and Liam Golightly, SVP of Customer Success at Podium to discuss how AI operator agents are giving dealership leaders a way to run their entire operation without being in every conversation themselves. John built his own AI agent, which he nicknamed Emily, to scrape telematics data, run weekly revival campaigns on stale leads, and even coach his sales team by timing how fast they respond before Emily steps in. The results are hard to ignore: Emily replaced his old bulk texting tool, helped uncover a customer-pay revenue drop in six seconds instead of weeks, and pushed his service department's customer-pay repair orders up 12 to 13 percent this year. For a single-point dealer competing against much larger groups, John says the technology has become a genuine equalizer. This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by Podium.

Were the women surrounding Aleister Crowley merely lovers and magical partners—or were some of them among the most dangerous female spies of World War I?In this episode of Agent Crowley, Joel uncovers the remarkable stories of Baroness von Seidlitz, Despina Dawidovitch Storch, Maria de Victorica, and Madeline George—women whose lives intersected with espionage, intelligence operations, international intrigue, and Crowley's mysterious world. As British and German spy networks collided in New York, Crowley found himself surrounded by femme fatales whose loyalties remain debated to this day.We also examine how this same period transformed Crowley's occult empire through The Blue Equinox, the expansion of the O.T.O. and A∴A∴, the evolving role of the Scarlet Woman, and his relentless pursuit of The Great Work.

Episode 88 of the CrackerMilk podcast. This episode features Chris Slater, Tamara McLaughlin, Connor McDuff and Elias De Weger . Produced by Lachlan 'Goob' Kristofer

Lesson learned. Each year produces so many fascinating movies; it's better to wait and see as many as possible before recording a pre-emptive "Movies of 2025" podcast. So Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill to make up for this mistake records "Movies of 2025 Part 2". SIRAT, THE SECRET AGENT, MARTY SUPREME, SOUND OF FALLING get discussed. And Craig enters the fray with his thoughts on Spielberg's new release DISCLOSURE DAY (spoiler, ultimately he liked it). 

This time, it's a crazy-long Peter Lorre triple feature. First, he's a Mexican detective whom George Peppard and Mary Scott wish they'd never met, then he's in two early Hitchcock films: “The (First) Man Who Knew Too Much” and “Secret Agent.”

What if what you're craving isn't another strategy?Not more information.Not another self-improvement project.But a different atmosphere.In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of how a single doctor's appointment changed the course of my life and led me on a decades-long exploration of sacred sensuality, pleasure, feminine embodiment, and what eventually became the Vital Goddess Mastery space... aka the Venus Temple.Together we explore:

What do you think of when someone mentions the word: spy? Thanks to James Bond, they're often thought of as sleek, sexy and thrill-seeking. But what really goes on in the mind of a secret agent like Václav Jelínek? Charlie Higson is joined author, lecturer, and advisor on handling human sources of secret intelligence, John Taylor. He's pulling the curtain back on the fraught psychology of spies. Including, what kind of agent poses the biggest threat to a mission. And, who he thinks makes for a better spy - men or women?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

During the Cold War, hearings led by U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy soon turned into a witch hunt, as paranoia and political opportunism destroyed the careers (and lives) of actors, directors, singers, filmmakers, writers, and prominent scientists who were accused of disloyalty, subversion, and treason. But even as the accusers cited poems, plays, novels, and song lyrics to bolster their attack, literature mounted a counteroffensive, striking back at the powerful in what Marjorie Garber has termed "poetic revenge." In this episode, Jacke talks to Garber about her book A Treacherous Secret Agent: How Literature Spoke Truth to Power During the Red Scare about the long reach of authors like William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Kyd, John Donne, and others, whose works exposed the lies and hypocrisies of one of America's darkest periods. PLUS Jacke takes a look at Arthur Miller's late-in-life reflections on his own work of poetic revenge, the great anti-McCarthyist play The Crucible.

My wife and I watched The Secret Agent the other night. We really enjoyed it, and we were also a bit puzzled by it. The acting performances were impressive, leaving us with a clear impression that this wasn't just another movie. And yet, we also noticed that the meaning of the movie wasn't necessarily easy to grasp for anybody stepping into the experience of watching it. I share more about this here and the takeaways I had from that reflection. I hope you find it insightful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Solomon Wilcots is joined by Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic to break down the behind-the-scenes story of Cincinnati's blockbuster trade for Dexter Lawrence — a move that required Bengals ownership to do something they've never done before: deal a top-10 pick for a proven veteran while taking on significant future salary cap obligations. Dehner reveals how B.J. Hill served as the secret agent in landing Lawrence, recruiting his longtime friend the night before the trade was finalized, and explains why the three-year, $70 million deal is a genuine bargain for a player motivated to prove himself in a change of scenery.

Good evening. Welcome back to Dial P for Podcast, Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Every month Patrick will be watching four Hitchcock features and talking about them here, from The Pleasure Garden to Family Plot, all across the year of 2026, examining the life and work of England's most famous cinema pervert.For episode 4 we find Alfred Hitchcock a newly christened international film star, taking the magic formula he discovered in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) in four very different configurations, with four very different results, as we discuss the ground crumbling from under him at Gaumont Studios. Also: his top three favorite methods of being a hideous creep at parties!Spies and bystanders, codes and MacGuffins, the Scottish Highlands to the Swiss Alps to Picadilly Circus, this episode finds Hitch sharpening the Hitchcockian thriller to a fine point, as well as discarding some truly useless pencil shavings!0:00 - 0:35 - Intro Music0:36 - 1:35:56 - The 39 Steps (1935)1:35:57 - 2:06:51 - Secret Agent (1936)2:06:52 - 2:58:11 - Sabotage (1936)2:58:12 - 3:22:34 - Young & Innocent (1937)3:22:35 - 3:23:46 - Outro Music

Are you a secret agent? No, not the cool James Bond kind. We are talking about the Realtor kind who hides behind postcards, online leads, and busy work instead of actually talking to real people. We keep getting messages from agents who are spending thousands of dollars on lead generation, farming, and marketing while avoiding the one thing that actually works: being visible. So we are revisiting this topic because clearly, y'all need to hear it again. We start with a really honest message from a listener who spent $6,500 on a lead generation program that produced zero leads. She has been in the business since 2018, does about $8 million a year, and she is the first to admit that fear made that decision for her. She did not want to put herself out there, so she threw money at a solution that did not require her to talk to real humans.

The Movies…. Are back. The Mindset….Continues. Bet you thought we had forgotten? Will and Hesse get in right under the gun for another Movie Mindset Oscars Special. Our two professional film critics and acclaimed indie film stars discuss this year's finest offerings from Tinsel Town and debate which among them deserves to be immortalized with that finest of names “Oscar.” Will PTA finally have his crowning moment of glory this year or will it be One Disappointment After Another for the wunderkind director as he's snubbed yet again… Who will win the ideological battle over fascism this year? Will it be The Secret Agent, which maintains that fascism is bad or F:1 which stands for Fascism = #1? Is having a parent evil, or is being a parent evil? And Is it better to exist or not to? Films like this year's Frankenstein, Sentimental Value and Hamnet all delve into this tricky and universal human dilemma. The Best Actor race is among the tightest in recent memory with many industry insiders saying it's going to come down to Michael B Jordan playing a set of twins who are divided over eating pussy and becoming a vampire and Timothee Chalamet who plays an arrogant, pushy Jewish guy who gets everything he wants and conquers the world. Will and Hesse discuss all this and more! Also Train Dreams? Place your bets NOW on which of this year's movies will win, and which ones each of these professional film critics still haven't seen!

Headlines for March 04, 2026; Who Bombed Girls’ School in Iran? Reporter Nilo Tabrizy on What We Know About Massacre, 175 Killed; “Iran Is Not Going to Surrender”: Johns Hopkins Prof. Says U.S. and Israel Underestimate Iran; “Utter Disaster for All Involved”: Is Trump’s War on Iran Repeating Bush’s “Forever War” in Iraq?; “The Secret Agent”: Kleber Mendonça Filho on His Oscar-Nominated Film & Brazil’s Military Dictatorship

The Secret Agent is one of the most celebrated international films of the year. It has been nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor. The film stars Wagner Moura and is set in Brazil in 1977, during the final years of the military dictatorship. We speak with the film's director and screenwriter, Kleber Mendonça Filho.

This week we're in hygge mode, uncovering traumas in our generational home with the host of This Had Oscar Buzz, Joe Reid! One of the breakout Oscar films of the year is Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, a warm, realist Norwegian film about a difficult but brilliant director (Stellan Skarsgard), his two daughters (Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), and an American actress cast in the auteur's new film (Elle Fanning). All four performances earned Oscar nominations, along with nominations for Best Picture, Best International Feature, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Screenplay. Sentimental Value also highlights a recurring phenomenon in Hollywood, wherein the Academy will pass over a director's breakout film but shower the follow-up with nominations. In Trier's case, his previous film The Worst Person in the World received nominations for Best International Film and Original Screenplay but, in our opinion, deserved many more. We try to break down how and why this happens, whether films about filmmaking have an innate appeal to Oscar voters, how Fanning's star power helps bridge the international gap for voters, and the film itself, including its deft intermingling of artistic expression and sublimated generational trauma.  With Joe's guidance, we also check in on some of the Oscar-buzziest films of the year that didn't pan out, check in on the state of the acting category race and some potential upsets, and celebrate The Secret Agent's breakout star Tânia Maria and her new role as Burger King spokeswoman.

Viva Brazil! Today we discuss Best Picture nominee The Secret Agent, the simmering, colorful Brazilian thriller about a man on the run, starring the dreamy Wagner Moura and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho. The story, about retaining personal and political memory under authoritarianism, has proven resonant with an international audience and awards bodies, garnering three additional Oscar nominations for Best International Feature, Best Casting, and Best Actor for Moura. On this episode, we discuss The Secret Agent itself, how it fits into and subverts the tropes of international films at the Oscars, the Eurovision-like process for international nominations, check in on the Berlin Film Festival, and do a very special Il Postino corner.

What can we learn from other countries that have lived through dictatorships? How can artists fight authoritarianism? How should an Oscar nominee react to an encounter with ICE on the way to the Academy Awards? Alex Wagner is joined by actor and filmmaker Wagner Moura, star of the Oscar-nominated The Secret Agent — a thrilling, beautiful film set during Brazil's military dictatorship. You may also remember Moura as Pablo Escobar from Narcos. Wagner and Wagner discuss the political parallels between Brazil and the United States, what Alex Pretti's killing teaches us about masculinity, and the Trump administration's distorted response to violence in the streets. They also talk about the importance of cultural memory, what the Epstein Files say about power, Trump's reaction to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, and the gutting of The Washington Post. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett will be back in your feeds this week.
