The Spy Who

Wondery

These are stories you were never meant to hear. The invisible but vital work of the world’s intelligence services: secret operatives playing to very different rules. The Spy Who, hosted by Indira Varma and Raza Jaffrey, takes you deep inside that shadow world to meet spies who risked everything in the national interest – or, sometimes, their own.

  • Loved this

    One of my favourite podcasts so far this year. I started listening to it as I have always been fascinated by spies but I didn’t expect the podcast to be a story and more of a history podcasts, instead the story is well told with information about the period in time and the life of the spy . I loved it,please record more series!

  • Just wonderful

    Loved this series and I can see why it would be thought that Fleming based James Bond. Whether true or not. This guy was not just clever but hard as nails. To be a spy in WW2 is beyond my imagination.

  • What a wonderful series

    Half spy novel, half documentary, this series gives a wonderful account of one of WW2’s very important figures, Duško Popov, who remains unknown even to most history buffs.
