Reviews
- OK
It starts well, potentially interesting spy story. But it bogs down in details and there are many repetitions of segments over multiple episodes. Sometimes you wonder if you have accidentally skipped to a previous episode. And the theme music keeps being played; it gets to be the worst ear worm.

This is an intriguing Cold War story as told by two excellent hosts. It was a very tense time in world history, and it was fascinating to hear a Cold War story from New Zealand of all places. Well done!

I wouldn’t trust Espiner to report where the sun rises in the morning. Complete waste of time
