“Joey and the team are doing an excellent job. Putting Le Carre into an Australian perspective. I think lots of Aussies have wondered at various times just how effective ASIO really is. We were told recently that a politician has been passing secrets to a potential enemy. Have we heard any more?...”Read full review »

“I’m confused as to why Ian Peacock isn’t even mentioned in the podcast? His name was released last year quite openly, if you want to say there was another one or that it wasn’t Peacock then that’s fine but the complete omission doesn’t make sense to me.”

“I’m loving this show.
It’s a joy to listen to a young, smart and fearless journalist. And even better when his talents are turned on some crusty Cold War era spies and their tangle of secrets.
Highly recommend.”

“In episode 6, the narrator ‘discovers’ the names of four ASIO officers suspected of being KGB assets. In a book published years ago by British spy book author, Ruper Allason, writing under the pen name Nigel West. Way to go, Joey. You’ve found four names. After reading a book. What about doing...”Read full review »

Fantastic podcast, look forward to...”Read full review »

“Thankyou for your truth telling. It’s long overdue. I spent most of the podcast in tears. I was the victim/survivor of forced adoption. I was adopted out at birth in 1965. I spent my childhood wondering why I was different. At age 17 my adoptive parents finally told me the truth. They had lied...”Read full review »

“I was unmarried and pregnant at 17. My only saving grace was that this was the early 90’s and the forced adoption practices had ended. My heart breaks for the women before me who had lost their babies, only due to this horrific policy of the times. When I reflect on the support that I received...”Read full review »

“Very important to bring out that many women of many backgrounds were forced to give up their babies for adoption. There is further on this in the 50s and 60 s when illegal abortions were performed before pregnancy turned into child birth. My grandmother was one of many that performed these ...”Read full review »

Open my mind to other families who have just as many secrets especially in the 40s to 80s
I was shocked at just what Australia authorities did in the day.
Look forward to the next series”
