“Of the best podcasts, I have listened to, and I have listened to many. Totally binge worthy. When I finished the last episode, I had tears in my eyes. Such a tragic tale. Humans are very complex.”

“The story of convicted double agent Robert Hanssen is fascinating, and this podcast does the subject justice. The narrator takes a back seat and lets the story itself shine. The reporting was comprehensive, fair and impressive. Excellent.”

“Great reporting. Chapters are well-organized as it delves into this infamous traitor. Loved the interviews and fact-based reporting with some provocative analysis. My only comment is I would liked to hear more about the failures of the Bureau.”

“I’m an Australian, so I didn’t know much about Robert Hanssen’s story.
Hanssen does seem like a very complex man and as his psychiatrist states, he is very compartmentalised….very much so. He seems to have struggled with his compulsions. His relationship with Priscilla is perplexing.
Great...”Read full review »

“The history and impact of this story continues to affect the morale of the intelligence community. What a complex individual, my thoughts have always been with those affected by his actions especially his family who are left to endure such pain, trauma, and endless doubt.”

“Excellent! Research was meticulous. Each episode featured someone who had known or worked with Hansen. Interesting into the reasons the FBI did not catch this man sooner. So Hansen proved he was so smart while he destroyed his family and hurt his country. Rather the question “How did that...”Read full review »

“This is a great story and it is told well. I do hope I am not the only one commenting on the misogyny of Hanssen’s best friend stating he never watched them with out Robert’s permission. It was Bonnie’s permission that was needed.”

“The only thing I didn’t like was having to wait a week for each episode to post; but then the FBI had to wait 10 years to catch their spy.
Now that all episodes are posted, I’ll go back and properly binge them!”

“Very good, probing, well organized and presented. So much better than a 1 hour tv show. This format more than makes up for the missing video.
What is clear, sadly, is that the FBI did a terrible job of protecting itself from a determined insider.
Kudos to CBS”

The podcast ponders the most significant questions such as, “why did he do it?” It also shows a lack of discipline and procedure at FBI during his tenure. Hanssen is a study...”Read full review »
