Podcasts about spy who came

In the latest episode of the le Carré Cast, host Jeff continues his discussion with Mark Meynell about the themes and narrative intricacies of John le Carré's A Legacy of Spies. The conversation explores how le Carré revisits and deconstructs the world and characters he created in The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, […]

Fans of George Smiley, John le Carré's legendary spymaster, have reason to celebrate. In a rare double coup for the espionage world, Nick Harkaway—le Carré's son—has announced The Taper Man, a new Smiley novel arriving in 2026, while The Spy Who Came in From the Cold will receive its first-ever stage adaptation in the West End this autumn. The announcement marks a major return of the “Circus,” le Carré's iconic fictionalised British intelligence service, and the literary rebirth of one of spy fiction's most enduring characters. Join Spybrary - the ultimate community for spy fiction fans. The Taper Man: Smiley Heads Stateside Set in 1965, The Taper Man picks up 18 months after the events of Harkaway's bestselling Karla's Choice and places George Smiley in unfamiliar terrain—America. The novel explores Smiley's pursuit of a communist network on the US West Coast, threading together geopolitical paranoia with moral ambiguity in classic le Carré fashion. The story unfolds amid the tumultuous backdrop of the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War, with Smiley navigating tensions with the CIA ("the Cousins") while unravelling Soviet infiltrations that stretch back to the 1950s. “It's time to meet our American Cousins,” Harkaway says. “We're following the breadcrumbs of a messy debacle in Helsinki all the way to California, uncovering the truth of Karla's 1950s network and pursuing Roy Bland into the USSR.” Publishing director Harriet Bourton of Viking describes The Taper Man as “an extraordinary new addition to the iconic literary world of John le Carré,” praising Harkaway's ability to honour the legacy while making it unmistakably his own. Smiley on Stage: The Spy Who Came in From the Cold at Soho Place Alongside the novel news, spy fans will see Smiley on stage for the first time this November, when The Spy Who Came in From the Cold—le Carré's 1963 classic—premieres at @sohoplace in London. Directed by Jeremy Herrin and adapted by acclaimed playwright David Eldridge, the production follows a successful run at Chichester Festival Theatre. Rory Keenan stars as Alec Leamas, the embittered British agent at the heart of the novel, with Agnes O'Casey playing Liz Gold. George Smiley will be portrayed by John Ramm. Clare Cornwell, director of the le Carré estate, says: “We are delighted to be celebrating the return of the Circus and George Smiley through these two new projects.” The John le Carré Legacy Continued Nick Harkaway, the fourth son of David Cornwell (John le Carré), previously completed the posthumous publication of Silverview and edited A Private Spy, a collection of his father's letters. In Karla's Choice, he took the bold step of writing new fiction within the le Carré universe—an effort praised by critics and readers alike. Watch our interview all about Karla's Choice with Nick Harkaway. With The Taper Man, Harkaway deepens his claim to the Smiley legacy while expanding the geopolitical canvas of the saga. For longtime fans of le Carré, and the next generation discovering his work through adaptations and new fiction, 2025 may just be the most thrilling year since Smiley first came in from the cold.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a slim, slightly twee French novel, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro by Christine Feret-Fleury. She doesn't give it a full-throated endorsement, but if you'd like to vicariously visit Paris and you love books, you might enjoy this. (And if you'd like to help us define the words "quirky" and "zany," leave us a comment on Instagram, X, or Facebook).​Terri's random recommendation this week is a productivity tool she's trying called Clockify. It's helping her work with her distractible tendencies, instead of fighting against them.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2020 on the challenges of turning negative self-talk around, in our kids and even in ourselves.Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E13, "The Long Con," on Tuesday, March 18A Man on the Inside S1 E8, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," on Wednesday, March 19Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 20Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. While this week's episode did return to the mystery ostensibly at the heart of the show (and end on a cliffhanger, of course), it was still mostly about the melancholies of aging, with a hefty side of parent-child conflict. Cheery!Next Wednesday, we'll watch the season 1 finale, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

The works of John le Carré, who died in 2020, are among the most beloved thrillers of all time. For some, books like "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," "A Perfect Spy" and "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" are simply among their favorite works of literature ever.So it was a perilous task that author Nick Harkaway, one of le Carré sons, set out for himself. The author of multiple well-received science fiction novels, Harkaway picked up the torch from his father to write a new tale starring George Smiley, the Cold War spy who has appeared in more than a half dozen novels. According to Harkaway, it took some work to figure out the right period to set the book in."Smiley's career is a little bit tricky in terms of the continuity because my dad, when he was writing these books, wasn't writing a franchise," Harkaway said. "He was writing one book after another, and each one was the only truth that he cared about." Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

‘David at his worst was a liar but John le Carré at his best was a truth teller.' These were the intriguing words with which his biographer Adam Sisman concluded the conversation when he joined the Slightly Foxed Podcast team at the kitchen table to discuss the life and work of the writer who was born David Cornwell but who is better known to the world as John le Carré. Graham Greene, whom le Carré greatly admired, once said that ‘an unhappy childhood is an asset for a writer', and this young David had in spades. He was only 5 when he and his older brother were abandoned by their mother, to be brought up by their father, a domineering, larger-than-life conman, wife-beater and sexual tyrant, whose overwhelming personality would haunt David for the rest of his life and was the inspiration for his novel A Perfect Spy. These ‘hugless' childhood years, as David called them, were ones of stark contrasts. At one moment the family would be living like princes, the next bailiffs were in the house and their father might even be in jail. The boys were taught early on to lie convincingly in order to bail their father out, so the scene was set for the kind of double life that David would later lead when he worked for the secret service, and for the shadowy worlds of violence and betrayal that he created in his novels. It also produced a man who sought out danger, both in doing his meticulous research, and in his multiple affairs with women, a subject Adam explored in a second biography, The Secret Life of John Le Carré, published after le Carré's death. Adam speaks fascinatingly about his often tense relationship with this complex, brilliant and seductively charming man whose great Cold War novels such as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, with their brilliant dialogue and scene-setting and their unforgettable central character George Smiley, are felt by many to far transcend the genre of spy fiction. To finish, there's the usual round-up of reading recommendations including a personal and passionate account of Putin's Russia through the eyes of a BBC journalist, Goodbye to Russia by Sarah Rainsford, and A Voyage around the Queen by Craig Brown, an exceptionally researched and hilarious biography of sorts of our late Queen Elizabeth II.

I’m excited to welcome back Mac Rogers, playwright and audio dramatist to continue to discuss the BBC George Smiley radio dramas. In this second of three parts we dig into some of the biggest of le Carré’s novels – The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Plus we discuss […]

Christopher Andrew – The Spy who came in from the Circus...with TRE's Giles Brown

In the second half of our episode, we're reviewing the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker parody Top Secret! starring Val Kilmer playing an Elvis/Beach Boys pop star who is invited to perform in East Germany as a means of distraction from a plot to destroy NATO submarines. Typical of most ZAZ films, it's chock full of weird sight gags, bent cliches and multi-layered jokes that don't distract (much) from the main story's ability to make progress and give you an outcome you didn't realize you were invested in. COMING ATTRACTIONS: We stick with the spy genre for a while, but on a less-comedic note as we visit several movies based on John LeCarre novels. In our next episode we start with The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965) and from there we visit The Russia House (1990).

At the end of the show a question from Gerry Mulvenna. Recommendations: David: The Pigeon Tunnel - Apple TV Academy Award-winning documentarian Errol Morris pulls back the curtain on the storied life and career of former British spy David Cornwell — better known as John le Carré, author of such classic espionage novels as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Constant Gardener. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Cold War leading into present day, the film spans six decades as le Carré delivers his final and most candid interview, punctuated with rare archival footage and dramatized vignettes. "The Pigeon Tunnel" is a deeply human and engaging exploration of le Carré's extraordinary journey and the paper-thin membrane between fact and fiction. https://www.apple.com/uk/tv-pr/originals/the-pigeon-tunnel/  The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life (Paperback) https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-pigeon-tunnel/john-le-carre/9780241976890  Stuart: The Boat Story - BBC Two strangers. One boat. Nothing to lose. An unexpected discovery could mean a second chance - or a bloody end. Dark comic thriller with Paterson Joseph and Daisy Haggard. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0glbknc/boat-story Eamonn: Lockerbie - Sky LOCKERBIE, a new mini-series that will be based on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and the search for justice by Dr Jim Swire and his wife Jane who lost their beloved daughter, Flora, in the air disaster in 1988. The five-part series will be written by Academy Award nominees Jim Sheridan (In The Name of The Father, My Left Foot) and Kirsten Sheridan (In America, Dollhouse). All 259 passengers and crew were killed when the bomb exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. Thirteen years later, in 2001, Libyan national Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime and later released on compassionate grounds in 2009. Shortly after the Lockerbie bombing, one of the worst terrorist attacks in history, some families of the victims joined together to launch a campaign for truth and justice. Among them was Dr Jim Swire whose campaign has taken him to the sand dunes of Libya to meet face-to-face with Colonel Gaddafi, to 10 Downing Street to meet with successive Prime Ministers and to the corridors of power in the US where he worked with the American victims' groups to mount pressure on Washington for tighter airport security, well before 9/11. The moving series will explore events from 1988 to the present day, while providing an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who pushes his marriage, his health, and his sanity to the edge. https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/8a3430f6-066b-3397-abec-1d72b380ed90

THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is often considered one of the best spy movies of all time. We couldn't agree more. In this episode, Dan and Tom decode this classic. As far as spy movies go, THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is dark, and probably a bit more realistic in terms of a spy's life, than anything James Bond does.  There are no Aston Martins here, no tuxedos, no glamorous venues – nothing that could make you smile or feel relaxed much.  The decision to film it in black and white was brilliant and adds to the overall feeling of despair. The story is fairly complex, and you must pay attention. Dan and Tom will help guide you through some of the complexities, although they disagree on the ending. They also discuss how this movie fits into the time of the Cold War and real-world double-agents. The cast, led by Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, and Oskar Werner, is top shelf. Burton earned a BAFTA Best British Actor win and an Academy Award Nomination for his role as Alec Leamas. The movie picked up seven BAFTA nominations, winning four of them. It also earned an Academy Award Nomination for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black and White, among other industry awards. Oskar Werner picked up a BAFTA nomination for Best Foreign Actor as well. So, have a listen and you'll “Be in the Know.” This should be a must-see for any spy movie fan.  Learn more about it as we decode THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD.

In 1963, a British spy writing under the pen name John le Carré published a novel that shot to the top of best-seller lists worldwide. After the success of “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” le Carré became known as the king of the modern spy thriller, and his gritty, political books helped define the genre until his death, in 2020. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz dive deep into the le Carré œuvre, delighting in the “glorious confusion” of works like “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” “The Constant Gardener,” and “A Perfect Spy.” They also discuss le Carré's life in light of two retrospectives out this month: “The Pigeon Tunnel,” an Errol Morris documentary on Apple TV+; and “The Secret Life of John le Carré,” an addendum to Adam Sisman's definitive biography that exposes decades of affairs in which the novelist ran women like agents. With these details as a jumping-off point, the hosts explore the themes of intimacy and romance across the spy genre, including the Martini-soaked romps of Ian Fleming's James Bond and the FX show “The Americans,” where romance functions as a metaphor for spycraft. “One question I'm asking is, Why are sex and love so much part of the archetype of the spy?” Schwartz says. “When you're pretending and playing at being so many different things, love is usually one place where the truth must out.” New episodes drop every Thursday.

Richard Walter Jenkins Jr. was born in November of 1925 in Wales to an hard drinking coal miner cum absentee father and a pub barmaid.  Growing up in a rough steel mill town under the roof of his older sister and her husband, he left school to work in the mines after his sister's husband (like both parents before him) fell ill, due to the unregulated, non-unionized working conditions, before joining the RAF, where he served as navigator. His omnipresent sideline in theatrical productions led to adoption by acting tutor and schoolmaster Philip Burton, and he fell under the wing of none other than Sir John Gielgud.  As part of a Gielgud-led touring company, he came Stateside, winning both a World Theatre Award and a succession of Hollywood film roles.  His leading role in The Robe both kicked off a proper filmic career and entangled him in a decades long, fiery on and off relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, who'd star with him in numerous films and tabloid headlines throughout the 60s and 70s. Starring in everything from critical accolade-bedecked dreck like Look Back in Anger, Equus and Night of the Iguana and excellent films like The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, 1984 or Where Eagles Dare to cult absurdities Candy, The Medusa Touch and Exorcist II, Burton was arguably more famed for his offscreen  antics than his own theatrical talents...and had a rollercoaster of a career that reflected both his notable highs and precipitous lows.

This week we discuss the movie version of John le Carré's novel The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Alicia leads us in a séance of sorts, asking us to consider why the main character, Alec Leamas (played by Richard Burton) is such an effective protagonist. To make sure the ghosts are summoned, she does not offer us any definition of effective. We float around the following themes: the questionable distinction between political methods and political policies, the difference between betrayal and the traitor, the hardboiled qualities of a spy who believes nothing can rock his world, and, as always, the question of gender (in this case, we bring up Nietzsche's "Suppose truth was a woman."). Beast & Sovereign is there, and Alicia's thesis regarding Leamas' total lack of negation brings us face to face with the unconscious, and thus Pervs 'R Us. We also try to identify other handsome men Richard Burton looks like.

Our guest Mark is back, joining Dixon and John for a Recommend or Refute to remember --or, in John's case, to forget [who's hosting]. Mark's finally gotten around to sampling the notes of humor and hints of commentary in The Menu (2022) and he's ready to serve up his thoughts. Meanwhile, Dixon and John join forces to deliver a paired review of two movies related only in the theme of espionage. Will Dixon send The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1965) to the bitter frozen land of refutes? Will John unmask Unmasking The Idol (1986) as a recommend? Tune in to find out.

Tyler, Emma and Max discuss the first half of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and how they first became John le Carré fans.

és dilluns 14 de desembre, d’aquí just a una setmana entrarem a l’hivern de manera oficial. Esperem que el fred dels mesos que han de venir ajude a mantenir a baixa temperatura els centenars de milers de dosis de la vacuna de la COVID-19 que esta setmana han encetat el seu viatge arreu del planeta. Els Estats Units començaran en les pròximes hores a vacunar els seus ciutadans i ciutadanes i els pròxims dies, seran la resta de països, poc a poc, els qui administraran la vacuna amb la intenció de recuperar la normalitat que coneixíem abans del 2020. El Estats Units, per cert, que encapçalen les llistes dels països amb més víctimes i que han fet una péssima gestió de la pandèmia. El mal que ha fet Donald Trump al país que diu estimar tant, només es podrà saber quan d’aquí a uns anys girem la vista enrera. Ja han començat a sonar veus des de diferents estats proposant una secessió, alguns dels ferms defensors del president sembal que s’han despertat del somni i veuen la realitat i se n’adonen de quina mena de deliri recolzaven. També ens hem llevat avui amb la notícia de la mort de l’escriptor John Le Carré, el mític John Le Carré autor d’algunes de les millors novel·les d’espies de la història, algunes adaptades al cinema: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963) (L'espia que tornava del fred), The Looking Glass War (1965) (El mirall dels espies), Smiley's People (1979) (La gent de Smiley), The Tailor of Panama (1996) (El sastre de Panamà), The Constant Gardener (2001) (El jardiner constant), A Most Wanted Man (2008) (L'home més buscat), Our Kind of Traitor (2010) (Un traïdor com els nostres), A Legacy of Spies (2017) (El llegat dels espies) ambientada en un anglaterra post brèxit, que ell rebutjava públciament. Amb la mort de Le Carré, ens deixa un dels referents literaris, en un any nefast per a la cultura i les arts. I sense referents, el camí és més incert. Esperem que el 2021 sigui un any de reconstrucció! Avui al Recapte hem escoltat bona música, hem estrenat una nova càpsula de la secció “Un home qualsevol” amb el poeta de Deltebre Javier Caballero i, a segona hora, hem parlat amb Llúcia Castanyo, qui este cap de setmana ha sigut premiada amb el premi Jordi Cartanyà en la categoria de 'Millor proposta innovadora i creativa que contribueixi a un desenvolupament turístic sostenible' pel seu tast clandestí

In this issue, I dig into my unanswered puzzle of the Russia Investigation. As mentioned in the previous newsletter, the behavior of the U.S. source in Russia, and their life after being extracted to the U.S., are confusing. Thank you for subscribing, and if you enjoy reading this, please forward the newsletter to your friends. ~ KevinQuote: “Don't give it to them all at once, make them work for it. Confuse them with detail, leave things out, go back on your tracks. Be testy, be cussed, be difficult. Drink like a fish; don't give way on the ideology, they won't trust that. They want to deal with a man they've bought; they want the clash of opposites, Alec, not some half-cock convert.”  ~ John le Carré, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold Last week we started the discussion of my number one puzzle from the investigation into Russia’s intrusion in the 2016 election. I closed the last issue asking: What would you do if you had crossed Putin? I have asked myself that question many times regarding this story.  It seems to me the logical conclusion is that you would hide. I expect that many would have run far and would have made it a point to be hard to find. The more distant the better, like witness protection, designed so that the source could not be located. Even though many movies have exciting plots to the contrary, the overwhelming share of people in witness protection are rarely, if ever, in danger.It is difficult to understand why the source who allegedly betrayed Putin did not choose such a route. Please join me in taking another look at some unresolved questions linked to this story. I will conclude with some observations about confirmation bias and its impact, as well. If the source decided to hide, what message would that send, especially to Putin and Russian intelligence?  It would say that they had been double-crossed.  As mentioned earlier, there are examples of Russians being killed for crossing Putin and this would be considered a major betrayal.  Therefore, hiding is uniquely dangerous, and doing something different might be a preferred path. Just like the rabbit I wrote about in a previous newsletter, who nests in the open, being in plain sight may be a preferred alternative.  Being in the open is dangerous, but it might also make it more dangerous for those who seek to harm the rabbit. (in this case, the source).  However, I expect in this case, it is not outside the realm of Putin’s options to do fatal harm to someone he considers a traitor, possibly even someone living on U.S. soil.  Crossing such a threshold is considered an international political taboo, but it is one I think Putin would cross under these circumstances.  Of course, the source who was relocated to the U.S. knows all of this and chose this path anyway. Therefore, while it seems counter-intuitive from what many would rationally choose to do, it seems being vulnerable might be a path to security.  At least that appears to be the situation in this case.  Perhaps Russian Intelligence may be more trusting of the U.S. source the more vulnerable that source seems to be.  However, revealing details about Russia that they consider important would still seem to be a dangerous approach. The source was considered very important and guarded.  This is where other elements of the investigation come into play. I believe the much-dramatized document, the Steele Dossier, served the purpose of junk intel to provide cover for this source.  It seems plausible and one might speculate that intelligence services trade in gossip as a means to muddy the counterintelligence efforts of enemies and to protect sources.   Over time this material got pulled into the investigation, but the author and his sources have been routinely discounted by the CIA. So why use them for years?  They used them for information, knowing it was false, so if the Russians caught wind of activity they would assume (though this is all sloppy) the junk material was the source.  This could seemingly provide cover to a real source.  This might keep a source going longer, although this is certainly no justification for knowingly including this material in a FISA application. There are some plausible paths I consider when looking at this that range from the U.S. source being a double agent to providing false information they did not know was false.  First, Russia interfered in the U.S. election through various means, but it seems like this source informed U.S. intelligence, who took notice on the policy front.  Like many effective lies, it seems plausible that some elements were true and some were not true.  But this source, as far as Russia is concerned, did a great service for them by focusing the U.S. political system inwards instead of thinking about geopolitics. It also seems possible that the location of this source was listed but they were not living at that location. This approach might have been used as a way to draw out potential threats, but that strategy seems a little obvious. Perhaps there is an in-between space of deceit that maintains the status quo.  U.S. intelligence realizes they were partially duped and Putin figures keeping the facade up is useful.  Or from the other side, if this person was slightly untrustworthy from Putin’s perspective, he got rid of someone and gained politically at the same time. Some Questions: How did a media figure get information about a source that was so important that it was left out of the President’s Daily Intelligence Brief?   Who at this time knew of this figure existing?  How much danger was the source put in by being revealed…. and was it intentional?  Why did the story die as quickly as it started? In short, there are many parts of this matter that feed other questions that hopefully we will learn more about. This is important for the record. It is also significant to see how rivals are manipulative and react, to help serve as a lesson for future actions.  One lesson is how Russia managed to concoct a plot that got Americans to be more distrusting of each other than of their old Cold War enemy.  How this played out exposed a deep vulnerability, driven by confirmation bias, that senior officials and the public are swayed by. Sometimes we are too quick to believe something, not because it is factual, but because it is in line with opinions we already hold. What worries me most is how unaware we are as individuals of confirmation bias and how it drives so much of our behavior.  We share that, like many other things, with each other. Quote: “To the hard-liners of East and West the Second World War was a distraction. Now it was over, they could get on with the real war that had started with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, and had been running under different flags and disguises ever since.” ~  John le Carré, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold News:I am enjoying the chance to share these newsletters with you in the form of the new podcasts and appreciate your continued feedback.

Ten general knowledge pub quiz questions broadcast to you daily. Today we have questions on - amongst others - mojitos, Yuri Gagarin and 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold'.

When John le Carré wrote his third novel "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold," it was such a success and brought him so much acclaim that it essentially outed him as a spy for MI6. He'd been doing it for only five years, but in that time, he learned a great deal about how the machine worked and was able to bring that world to life with greater accuracy than had been seen before.

When John le Carré wrote his third novel "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold," it was such a success and brought him so much acclaim that it essentially outed him as a spy for MI6. He'd been doing it for only five years, but in that time, he learned a great deal about how the machine worked (or the 'circus' as he calls it in his books) and was able to bring that world to life with greater accuracy than had been seen before. Because of that, it was inevitable that the story would be adapted to film, and true enough, two years after it was published, the film was released. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off a new series looking at adaptations of John le Carré's novels with Martin Ritt's 1965 The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. We talk about the tone of the story and the various themes presented here about loyalty, alienation, ideologies vs. morality. We chat about some of the performances, like Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Oskar Werner and Peter van Eyck, and what they bring to the table. We look at Oswald Morris's cinematography, the long shots, and what the black-and-white brings to it. And we dig into the nature of a bleak ending as depicted here and what it does to the film (and to Pete!). It's a wonderful film and a great entry to this series. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in! The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins.
