After 7 episodes learnt nothing He did all the work and decided to bore us with this podcast He should have waited until he has something of interest to share, or been up front that at the end of 7 episodes learnt nothing

Outstanding Simpson’s reference in episode seven 😃

Loved loved loved Nest of Traitors. I could listen to Joey talk through his interviews and findings all day. Thank you Joey for covering this and your spin on journalism, I wouldnt normally listen to this type of pod, but binged this in a day!

This has been an excellent deep dive into an issue that was far more complex than it seemed at the time - told by those who were there

I thought I knew what had happened, but the links between AWB and post invasion Australian activities in Iraq are knew and eye opening.
missc81 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/28/24
This is riveting - should be a TV miniseries - the AWB guys are true Aussie patriots - Darryl Hockey is a legend deserving of a screen appearance.

Brilliant podcast! Can’t wait for the next episode. First class documentary podcast. Well done Richard Baker👍.
broadcast pro via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/20/24
Excellent, and leaves you waiting for the next episode. For those of us that were around during that period, this podcast offers a more in-depth and perhaps more accurate account of events. Presented to the high standard which you come to expect from Richard Baker!
Gherang via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/15/24
Absolutely loved the first few episodes. Well done Richard Baker on another excellent podcast!!
hgyughhgch via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/12/24
This is a story that had to be told before it was buried beneath the sands of time. Richard has a way about him that engages those who were central to the story and earns their trust. He raises serious questions about the politics of power in all of his podcasts. His ability to do this and to dig...Read full review »

Well researched, captivating and engaging. Joey is a great story teller and I’m loving this series.
Hodgo6 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/11/24
Started this series expecting to hear episodes related to your Mothers story not the broader story of forced adoption. Your Mum had a miscarriage right? Who was adopted as it relates to your family story? Forced adoption is another very sad issue altogether. Weird how it doesn’t even tie in to...Read full review »

Gripping and a must listen for any news or politics junkies. This is very cool. The inside story of Australia’s biggest corruption story and of how business and politics really work. I thought the bribe payers were scum bags when this scandal first broke years ago. But Richard reveals their human...Read full review »

Have enjoyed previous podcasts by Richard Baker like Phoebe’s Fall and Wrong Skin, so thought I’d give this one a try. After 2 episodes I’m hooked. Great characters, insights and fascinating Australian history.
C. Connan via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/10/24
An intriguing story that captured my attention straight away. Looking forward to the next episode.
ezazza via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/10/24
Can’t wait for the next episode. Fascinating story and brilliantly told.

So interesting to listen to the untold side of this story. What a good listen. Thanks
Jimmy Fe via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/09/24
Insightful, well told and edge of your seat stuff.
Fat2Fit_2021 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/09/24
Into this already. Love the stuff with the guy on his farm. And the story of that photo is a cool way to tie it together. Richard Baker is good at telling stories
DonsVenos via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/09/24
I didn’t know too much about this stuff in Iraq but at learning a lot while still enjoying what seems like a great story with real people. Looking forward to where this goes.
Leebbear via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/09/24
Good to hear Richard Baker back doing what he does best. Fascinating and complicated part of recent Australian history told so well. Love the effort into the sound design. Keep it up
DizRabbs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/09/24
Just started this season and just wow. Not my usual topic of interest but so far the story is really interesting and the quality of the production is superb.
Melstarkeith via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/08/24
Just listened to the first 2 episodes of Baghdad nights, Richard the host was super insightful and well spoken. Great story telling can’t wait for the next episode!
IO Inspections via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/06/24
Great podcast, not my usual genre, but Joey has put this together so well, supported by a great team, the dialogue and the actual chats with people who have ASIO connections is fascinating, well done team👏
Susielikestocook via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/03/24
Absolutely binge worthy! Great journalism!
Claymet1 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/02/24
I was hanging onto every word. Really enthralling and well put-together
PCreagh via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/29/24
Riveting! Excellent journalism by Amelia. I hope to hear more from her.
loddyk via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/29/24
My mother was adopted out in 1955 after being forced to be given up to a 17 year old girl, out of wedlock in a Victorian Mother’s home. The trauma and pain she felt through her life made for a sad life and she passed at age 50. I am sitting at the airport about to fly to meet her biological...Read full review »

Thoroughly enjoyable podcast!
Toots McToots via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/28/24
I felt awful listening to this, I couldn't sit through the season. Let your mother rest in peace. I have trauma too but would never cross this line. If you have trauma, see a professional and learn to love and understand yourself.Read full review »

Both very well researched and presented!
pauly70s via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/14/24
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 »
Garryla via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/29/24
Interesting, suspenseful and funny - loved the series Joey. I need to know why your teacher worked for ASIO though… another ep please!
TaraCassidy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/12/24
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.
Melbkiti via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/08/24
A very good body of work, the dedication to this cause is quite something and casts a light on a chapter of Australia’s history that more people need to be reminded of. Hats off to you and the team. Andrew
A. Hume via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/06/24
Such a great story.
JacobsWilliams via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/01/24
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.
whats-that? via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 03/01/24
Interesting. Thanks
DFSewing via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/29/24
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 »

Really enjoying the podcast.
TIEITM via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/28/24
The story is so great and had me hooked from the start. I can’t wait to hear what the next season will involve.
GreenRoyals via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/28/24
I love it, I wouldn’t normally listen to this kind of pod but I’m hooked 👍👍👍
Joel wensley via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/27/24
A riveting investigation and a reality check about the hidden agendas we keep secret in our countries - what else don’t they want us to know?!
KatFingerbun via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/26/24
So well produced and entertaining. Love investigative journalism. Will highly recommend to my friends. Unfortunate to see so much corruption in my lifetime. Hope for the release of the Cook report.
