Podcasts about Spies

Today's guest is David McCloskey — former CIA analyst, bestselling author, and co-host of the hit podcast The Rest is Classified.Before becoming a novelist, David served at the Central Intelligence Agency where he wrote for the President's Daily Brief, testified before Congressional oversight committees, and briefed senior White House officials, ambassadors, and military leaders.  He spent years stationed across the Middle East during the Arab Spring and later worked in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center focused on the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.David's acclaimed thrillers — DAMASCUS STATION, MOSCOW X, THE SEVENTH FLOOR, and THE PERSIAN — have established him as one of the most authentic new voices in modern espionage fiction. Damascus Station was a finalist for the 2022 International Thriller Writer's Award for Best First Novel and is currently in development for television. His latest release, The Persian, takes readers deep into a shadow war in Iran and follows a dentist living in Sweden who builds an international front to conceal a covert operation.In this episode, Jack and David discuss the inspiration behind The Persian, the real-world dynamics of the intelligence community, and the meticulous craft of writing espionage fiction rooted in truth. They talk about the creation of The Rest is Classified — a top-charting podcast exploring untold spy stories, manhunts, and historical intrigue. David also shares insights into the writing process, balancing podcasting with novel deadlines, the surprising bureaucracy of the intelligence world — past and present — and a humorous story of running into Ben Affleck at Langley during research for Argo.His new novel, THE PERSIAN, is available now.FOLLOW DAVIDX: @mccloskeybooksInstagram: @mccloskeybooksFacebook: @mccloskeybooksWebsite: https://www.davidmccloskeybooks.com/ FOLLOW JACKInstagram: @JackCarrUSA X:  @JackCarrUSAFacebook:  @JackCarr YouTube:  @JackCarrUSASPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - https://bravocompanyusa.com/ and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear

When an elderly man with a battered suitcase walked into the British embassy in Vilnius in 1992, few could have guessed what he was about to hand over. Gordon Corera tells the story of Vasili Mitrokhin, an under-the-radar Soviet archivist who copied thousands of classified KGB documents over 12 years. Speaking to Elinor Evans, he reveals how a project that began as a private rebellion against the agency he once served evolved into one of the greatest intelligence coups of the 20th century. (Ad) Gordon Corera is the author of The Spy in the Archive: How One Man Tried to Kill the KGB (William Collins, 2025).

From the BBC World Service: Australia is increasingly vulnerable to "high-impact sabotage" from hackers backed by China, according to Australian intelligence official Mike Burgess. He told business leaders in Melbourne that there had been multiple attempts to hack into transportation, telecommunications, water, and energy networks. Plus, a multibillion-dollar natural gas platform off the coast of Senegal promised to bring economic prosperity, but fishermen there say the development has caused disruption and unemployment.

I kept seeing this guy everywhere online. Then I opened my Instagram DMs and found a message from 2021: “I'm the first ex-CIA officer to launch an information product… everything I've learned came from you.” A year later he went viral using the exact earned-media playbook from Traffic Secrets, stacked podcast appearances, and sent all that attention to one link that fed his funnel.  In this episode I sit down with Andrew Bustamante to unpack how he went from CIA to info business, why his name started triggering the algorithm, and how a single quiz became the engine that turned curiosity into qualified buyers. Key Highlights: ◼️The earned-media ladder that took him from small shows to the biggest podcasts and sent every viewer to one conversion link ◼️How a CIA-inspired spy quiz filters for personality, pinpoints a weakness, and turns attention into buyers ◼️The zero-ad viral strategy he ran on repeat and when to layer paid traffic on top of it ◼️CIA tradecraft mapped to marketing: adopt vocabulary, build commonality first, then shift beliefs, plus the nine-month conversion model ◼️Inside his value ladder: tripwire, smart order bumps, a daily intelligence brief, community, and high-ticket experiences that move readers into video buyers Most people chase views, but people like Andrew simply demand views by being so interesting and informative! He proves you can turn story, psychology, and smart funnels into a system that compounds without brute-force ad spend. If you run content, a podcast circuit, or a personal brand, study this one. Build a single path for attention. Use a diagnostic that creates desire to fix a revealed weakness. Move customers up with offers that prepare them for the next medium and the next level. That is how you turn interviews into income and strangers into true fans.

No other American has a family history quite like Christine Kuehn. Through years of doing painstaking interviews, hunting down letters, and pouring through FBI records, Christine learned that her German-born aunt had a fling with Nazi politician Joseph Goebbels. When he found out she was half-Jewish, Goebbels sent the family to Hawaii to spy. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Christine's grandfather was found guilty of providing intelligence to the Japanese. In this episode we hear how Christine Keuhn strung together her family secrets to tell her family history in her book, Family of Spies, which is coming out November 25th.  Subscribe to Sasha's Substack, HUMINT, to get more intelligence stories: https://sashaingber.substack.com/ And if you have feedback or want to hear about a particular topic,  you can reach us by E-mail at SpyCast@Spymuseum.org,  This show is brought to you from Goat Rodeo, Airwave, and the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC.

In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena sits down with Dr. Chris Ellis, a military veteran, scholar, and author of  Resilient Citizens: The People, Perils, and Politics of Modern Preparedness. Together, they explore the evolution of what it means to be a resilient citizen—someone capable of surviving and thriving during crisis through community, faith, and proactive readiness. From Iraq deployments and disaster nation-building to the academic study of resilience and preparedness, Dr. Ellis shares how his journey through war zones, research, and leadership shaped his mission to help others build lasting readiness.Scardena and Ellis dive into global and cultural lessons from history's most significant disasters—from Mount St. Helens and Hurricane Katrina to Japan's tsunami response and European recovery models—and how those events reveal the interconnectedness of preparedness, culture, and resilience. They discuss Ellis's SPIES framework—Social, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual—and how these five dimensions strengthen individuals and communities before disaster strikes.The conversation challenges stereotypes of “preppers,” shifting focus toward collaboration, compassion, and civic responsibility. Ellis explains why preparedness is not about fear, but about agency—taking control of your capacity to act and support others. From faith-based readiness to community-driven resilience, this episode is packed with insights for emergency managers, policymakers, and anyone striving to build a stronger, more self-reliant society.Whether you're leading disaster response, training in emergency management, or simply looking to protect your family and neighbors, this episode reminds us that true preparedness isn't about isolation—it's about connection, purpose, and service.You can find Dr. Ellis book here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Resilient-Citizens-People-Politics-Preparedness/dp/163763448XSEO Keywords: John Scardena | Disaster Tough Podcast | Chris Ellis | The People Perils and Politics of Modern Preparedness | Resilient Citizen | Emergency Management | Preparedness | Resilience | Military Leadership | Nation Building | Community Readiness | Emergency Response | Humanitarian Aid | Disaster Leadership | Crisis Management | Faith and Resilience | SPIES Framework | FEMA | Mount St. Helens | Hurricane Katrina | Japan Earthquake | Resilient Communities | Public Safety | Homeland Security | The Readiness Lab | Doberman Emergency Management

Tax rises! Cuts to everything! Here comes the pain! Seldom has a Budget been heralded with such dire warnings… if you believe the Toryform Press. But according to Giles Wilkes – Institute for Government fellow and former adviser to Vince Cable and Theresa May – Britain isn't in such a disastrous state after all. In a weirdly optimistic conversation he joins Andrew Harrison and Jonn Elledge to look at the real story of Britain's finances; why Brexit is an even bigger drag anchor than the Treasury will admit; and why the embattled Chancellor needs to stick to her course.   ESCAPE ROUTES  • Jonn has been watching The Celebrity Traitors, yes that again, do our panel ever watch anything else?  • Giles recommends Wellington: The Iron Duke by Richard Holmes.  • Andrew recommends the old school BBC adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guinness.   When you buy books through our affiliate bookshop you help fund OGWN by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Sometimes, things aren't always what they seem. After approaching an injured bird on the ground, one Somalian man found this out the hard way. It turns out, it wasn't a bird at all, but it did harbour a sordid secret that threatened not just the man's privacy but that of everyone around him. And this is far from the only time something like this has happened!

Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, "What happened?" This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. This week, Paul took a cue from Corey and his son to canvass the youth to see what else they may be watching in the 21st century. Thanks to his friend, Matt, Paul chose Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids (2001). Folks, it's good! Paul and Corey discuss the charming, homemade, we're-putting-on-a-show quality to the film. It really is a film for the whole family. The only note is that Eleanor, Paul's cat, woke him up at 4:30 a.m. on the day of recording, so Paul is not operating on his normal level.

Here is a final "spooky" episode for everyone! DMs Rob and Matt review Kenneth Hite's Night's Black Agents. It's "Spies vs. Vampires" in a "mystery inside a thriller."

It may have some of the most interesting and useful campaign building tools of any rule book. While it's maybe not for slacker DMs, if you like to prep your campaign using flow charts and story maps or if the phrase "dramatic villain response algorithm" fills you with glee, then NBA (Night's Black Agents) is for you!

In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo provides a comprehensive recap of the volatile trading day on November 6th. Run your own reports and get more free options data at: https://TheHotOptionsReport.com The market experienced a significant downturn marked by a VIX spike above 20 and unusually heavy volume in major index products like SPY (11.4M contracts) and QQQ (6.65M contracts), signaling strong bearish sentiment. The action was dominated by a Tech Takedown, with Nvidia (NVDA), Meta (META), and AMD all facing heavy selling and driving massive options volume, primarily in downside put contracts. Other notable trades included a significant put position in Microsoft and continued high options activity in Small Caps.

John le Carré was still a working secret agent when he wrote The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, the book that shocked the Britain of 1963 with its portrait of espionage not as heroic but as sordid, morally compromised and utterly without glamour. In comparison James Bond's escapist world of girls and gadgets seemed naive and shallow. As a new stage adaptation of The Spy opens, its playwright David Eldridge talks to Andrew Harrison about adapting le Carré's deep, dark vision for 2025 – why he expanded the role of George Smiley – and what The Spy has to say about the West's new Cold War with Putin. • The Spy Who Came In From The Cold runs @sohoplace Theatre in London's West End from 17 Nov-21 Feb, ahead of a major UK tour in 2026.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Ever wondered how hedge fund managers use options to turn ordinary moves in the market into extraordinary gains? In this video, we dive deep into The Power of Options Investing and show how professional traders use strategies that feel simple once you see them in action. You'll discover how to buy stocks for just a fraction of their price using deep in-the-money calls and why timing trends matters far more than timing the bottom.We'll walk through a real-world SPY example from the 2020 market recovery and reveal how a 10-day crossover can signal when the trend flips in your favor. Along the way, you'll learn why most new traders lose money, what separates the 5% who make it, and how you can start trading smarter by following what the market tells you instead of what you hope will happen.And yes, we'll talk about OVTLYR and how it makes this process easier by identifying high-conviction trades backed by data instead of emotion.Here's what's inside:✅ How buying deep in-the-money options gives you leverage without the risk of cheap “lotto” calls✅ The secret to managing extrinsic value so you keep more profit and lose less to time decay✅ Why 90% of traders blow up early and how emotional control changes everything✅ How trending markets completely destroy the “efficient market theory” myth✅ A simple formula to calculate leverage so you can see exactly what your position is really worthThis isn't theory or textbook fluff. It's practical, step-by-step logic based on what billion-dollar traders actually do. You'll see how a $10,000 position can behave like $55,000 in shares when you use deep in-the-money calls correctly. You'll also see why “cheap” options usually cost you more in the long run and how time decay silently eats away at weak positions.We'll even touch on what not to do, like selling spreads that crush your delta or relying on short-term gambles that decay overnight. If you've ever wondered why the pros seem to win while retail traders keep fighting uphill battles, this video connects the dots.The real edge comes from understanding leverage, delta, and probability — and then combining that with the behavioral data inside OVTLYR. Once you see the OVTLYR Nine light up for the market, sector, and stock, that's your green light. When it's off, you sit in cash and protect your capital. Simple, powerful, and disciplined.If you're ready to trade like a professional instead of a hopeful gambler, watch this one all the way through. It's packed with insights that can change how you look at options forever.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

This week on The Normal Nerds Podcast, Maxwell and Davis dive headfirst into another Weekly Anime Recap — and it's stacked. The boys break down the latest episode of My Hero Academia Season 8, praising its perfect balance of emotion, action, and classic hero sacrifice energy. They debate whether Deku's plan is genius or insanity, geek out over Shigaraki's new look, and somehow end up connecting it all to the story of Jesus (don't worry, it makes sense… kind of). Then they jump into Spy x Family Season 3, laughing their way through Yor's sports dominance and unexpected volleyball destruction.And of course, they rave about how great the new anime Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider is — a wild, heartfelt surprise that might be one of the most fun new shows of the season.If you like chaotic anime debates, accidental theology, and totally normal nerd energy, this is your episode.

Day 1,351.Today, as reports from Pokrovsk indicate Russian troops now hold positions across nearly the entire city, prosecutors in Kharkiv launch a new war crimes investigation after footage emerged of an alleged Russian FPV drone strike on two civilians carrying a white flag near Kharkiv. We also examine today's Joint Expeditionary Force meeting in Norway – asking whether it's wise for the group to brand itself as “NATO's first responders” – before doing a deep dive into recent cases of Ukrainian and Russian spycraft. Later, we speak with the commander of a Ukrainian drone unit who helped destroy Russian forces following the so-called “breakthrough” in Dobropillya.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Dimko Zhluktenko.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Former CIA field operative Andrew Bustamante pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to recruit spies, run intelligence operations, and navigate a life built on secrecy, loyalty, and manipulation. In this riveting and wide-ranging conversation, Bustamante shares stories from his military training at the Air Force Academy, his time at “The Farm” — the CIA's elite training facility — and his years of fieldwork turning foreign agents into assets.He explains how spycraft isn't about glamour or violence — it's about reading people, controlling trust, and gaining influence through empathy and psychological leverage. Bustamante also discusses how operatives are recruited based on “moral flexibility,” why loneliness is built into the job, and how living in the shadows impacts everything from family to friendships.From breaking down the difference between motivation and manipulation to revealing how the CIA targets new recruits, this episode offers a rare, unfiltered look at the human side of espionage — and the psychological toll it takes on those who live it.

What if the Knights Templar didn't just vanish but instead laid the foundation for modern intelligence agencies like the CIA, MI6, and Mossad? In this insightful episode of The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into the shadowy lineage of power, exploring how the Templars' revolutionary organizational model—encrypted communications, compartmentalized cells, financial networks, and global reach—mirrors today's intelligence agencies.
