- Fascinating Season, Variable Series
I really enjoyed Season Three: The Sixth Bureau. It was well structured and riveting. There are a lot of commercials though. There was a little equivocating at the end that seemed like unnecessary editorializing, but fine. The inability to take one’s own side is weird but morally defensible. Biggest problem for the series, though, is that the topic changes every time. So it won’t even be “The Sixth Bureau” for Season 4. It needs to find an identity.

Interesting worth listening too. We need more agents on this subject as everything in China looks very similar to American ingenuity. However at the end of the your swipe at Trump is unnecessary are it’s not as if the democrats didn’t go after Trump. They changed a law to go after him and we’ll no one else was charged after 20 years So get past your politics and stick to the facts of the case. You are a reporter not a opinion writer

Very good podcast so surprising and detailed to hear about the personal lives of these spies working for the Chinese government and then to have the Americans on the other side it’s like game recognize game

Good story but very liberal. Making it more political than just giving the story of US catching China.

A deep-dive into a small Appalachian town confronting big-town interests, this series tracks how a group of self-styled pioneers—backed by venture capital and connected to far-right Christian networks—seek to redefine local identity, land use, heritage, and community norms.
