always interesting guests , but host takes too much time offering observations and asking repetitive questions

Andrew is always fun to listen to and he has an amazing Rolodex. Lots of real-world info about an often sensationalized topic.

Most podcasts in this space are frankly awful, over-dramatized, claptrap. Junk food for your brain. SpyCast is an absolute gem for anyone who wants to know what this world is really about - just look at the guest list. This is the real deal. Dr. H has a knack for asking insightful questions...Read full review »

The guests are always interesting and refreshingly diverse. Andrew is an exceptional host. I don’t think people realize how exceptional because he is so unassuming. He listens attentively, is intently curious, and has a unusual ability to ask the most penetrating questions. I listen to a lot...Read full review »

Best guests covering wide ranging topics from professionals willing to share thier perspectives, experience, research, and passion.

As a third-year law student with a long-time interest in the IC, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve only recently discovered SpyCast… but frankly, I could listen to Andrew read a Betty Crocker Cookbook, that dulcet baritone is worth five stars alone! You don’t need me to tell you to keep up the...Read full review »

“SpyCast” is one of my favorite podcasts. As part of one of the podcast’s target demographics, I find it is one of the more informative and comprehensive shows out there. Moreover, Andrew is a fantastic host. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

History can teach us much if we listen. Are you ever going to have J25t3r on? Would love to hear the story behind that laptop!

Absolutely the best podcast

I know when I click “play” on a SpyCast episode, I will get a fascinating hour of well presented information. Andrew has an interview style that brings out the best of his guests. There are occasional pauses where the listener is brought in on background information that explains all.

Always amazed at the all the great new content with a wide assortment of interesting guests. Always a great listen where I learn something new each episode.

As a writer these stories are incredibly captivating! I’m learning so much about the global intelligence community. And Andrew’s voice is therapy.

Really interesting and indepth analysis of spycraft. Enjoying it immensely.
TIEITM via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/10/24
Spycast is one of my favorite podcasts. As a former CIA officer, I love the episodes that focus on espionage history, analysis, and of course China. Favorite recent episodes include the interview with Director Panetta, the discussion with Sara Castro about her upcoming book “Mission to Mao,” and...Read full review »

Andrew Hampton is a boring speaker. Bad call.
Ruezacjj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/24
I’m a regular listener and always find the episodes intriguing and informative.

Each episode is interesting and professionally produced!
Poolboy999 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/24
There are any one of a number of podcasts devoted to espionage and intelligence and spying. This is the best.
Ziusudra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/24
You’d think coming from the international spy museum it have been better. It’s present by a Scottish man with an accent. I’d like to hear true spy stories, not what you’re doing. Just not for me.
electropleb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/24
This podcast is a wonderful way to learn of some of the most fascinating people in our history. They’re all very interesting and educational too! The history of intelligence seems so fascinating and intriguing, but in fact its history of gathering information for the presidents men and military...Read full review »

Perfect way to unwind after a hectic day and let yourself be swept away by the captivating tales of spy fiction.

I’m deeply saddened our American heroes who have served and protected our country. Is being interviewed and their stories told by a foreigner who has no roots to the US of AMERICA. Other than his studies. What a slap in the face and an insult!! There are so many American PHD’s who would be a...Read full review »

The host’s accent is so thick that it’s difficult to stick with the show. Of course, it can’t be helped, but it very much limits my ability to stick with the show. I’ve yet to get through an entire episode.
Ladybug's SugarKane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/23
I’ve been listening for a while and look forward to every episode. I can’t wait to visit your museum. Thanks so much.

Brocass via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/23
My “go to” podcast for learning about the history, culture, key operations, and important personalities involved in the second oldest profession. The podcast is educational and entertaining. Dr. Hammond and his team do not cover just one type of intelligence (I.e. HUMINT) nor do they only stick...Read full review »

Apparently, according to this podcast, the current leaders of the UK and of Ireland all descend at least in part from the Indian subcontinent. Really? Wales? Mark Drakeford? Have you heard of Wales?
Hokeykokey via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/21/23
Really enjoy listening to this podcast. It always leaves me wanting to learn more about a particular topic. Fascinating to hear different perspectives and personal histories.
Twoshoes66 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/16/23
Outstanding podcast. Dr Andrew Hammond and his crew do a wonderful job of interviewing key figures from the world of espionage. I highly recommend it!
PTG-M5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/23
Isn’t petraeus the guy who leaked intel to a reporter he was sleeping with. Pretty bad look to bring a sleaze bag like that on the podcast. Unsubscribing.
apt6ix via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/23
The time Andrew puts into research ahead of the episode is apparent with poignant interview questions. I also really appreciate the explainer breakdowns he does when a topic is either complex or something that might not be common knowledge, it keeps the listener up to speed on the topic at hand...Read full review »
