Excellent Podcast

Riveting story voiced by the excellent Rosamund Pike. A poignant fleshing out of an important international intelligence event.

A great start

A great start of something that I never knew existed and am very interested in learning more.

Couldn’t stop listening

Great story really well told by a great narrator. Hard to believe there are spies living among us.

Interesting story!

Every episode kept my attention. It was organized very well and good audio / narrators

Excellent Podcast! Intriguing and Well-Performed.

The story itself was extremely engaging, and the podcast was well-performed, Definitely worth a listening.

Wonderfully narrated

This was a very interesting and well paced story. But what really stood out was the narrator’s performance. Really excellent.

Great Authentic Documentary!

We were hesitant to listen to this documentary because typically they are too cut up from the jumping back and forth between the narrative and the reality of what happened. This was remarkably different than what we were expecting to hear. We played the introduction and I was really impressed with it so I asked my wife (of 53&1/2 years) how she felt. She is the one that typically dislikes documentaries and leaves the room, however, she instantly said that she was very interested in hearing this. We were very happy that we heard this true historically accurate story and the fact that is in such recent times. Thank you for your focus on accurate information and the details that are frequently overlooked that truly make a documentary like this much more relevant to us today and gives us some great follow-up on the characters after the heart of the overall story.

The honesty and authenticity of this story was most impressive

I liked everything about it. The people interviewed never wavered in telling their stories and when the penny finally dropped they were totally baffled. The Russian woman around whom the story is centered is a remarkable, gifted and most intelligent woman who lived a double life so convincingly that even those close to her never once became suspicious. One ends up both admiring her and condemning her for her duplicity. I greatly enjoyed listening to the smooth soothing voice of the narrator.

The Americans

This story tracks with the tv show “The Americans.” Based on the lives of Tracey - Elena Vavilova, and Donald - Andrei Bezrukov.

I always love listening to these spy stories. Next is Elena’s, “The Woman Who Can Keep Secrets.”

The narrator is wonderful, it is not confusing when going back and forth from the storyline to the professionals and “close friends” narratives.

Total Nonsense

Russia did not have spies in 1990s. Russia was in the “Stone Age” in ‘90s and had no strong government to support spied. This story is at least 10 years behind chronologically. Moreover, any spy American in Russia or Russian in America, speaks perfect native tongue. Russian spies speaking with accents in this story is inaccurate, to say it the least. It is just a cheap propaganda story, “Be Afraid, Be afraid!”
