Is it any surprise that these British presenters gloss over the many failings of MI5? There are plenty of stories of shady dealings, yet they never seem to focus on any of those and instead they are always portrayed as the ethically superior superhero characters on the side in every story they make an appearance in (laughable).
An excellent podcast! Not stories in and of themselves fascinating, but I have also learned so much about important points in history. Well worth the listen!
Same recycled Podcast episodes labeled under “True Spies classic” I’m glad I’m not a subscriber, otherwise I’d feel like I’m wasting my money. I considered subscribing before these “episodes” were put out.
Always informative
The political ads almost ruin the show for me.
