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
Really enjoyed this podcast. I hope that more are created with theme of behind-the-scenes of intelligence and doing character building, like this. Good job to the hosts, editors, writers, and researchers et al.
Good story but very liberal. Making it more political than just giving the story of US catching China.
Interesting and informative
