“So many wild and unbelievable stories of Cold War era shenanigans! While Justin mostly focuses on WW2 thru the end of the Cold War, he has also made several historical episodes that trace the art of spycraft back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, and even to such diverse locations as Northern...”Read full review »

“I recently found this podcast and was really hopeful because it sounded really really interesting. So far, I have had to stop about half of the episodes in the middle because I just couldn’t listen anymore. The guy who hosts it has a very flat, robotic tone. One episode I terminated this morning...”Read full review »

“Awesome to listen to the in depth stories about things that happen in the world. Also kudos to the fact that you connect with personnel that experienced the story, hearing perspectives is so much more intriguing then just listening to the same person tell stories.”

“I was so excited to listen to this podcast and is this why I am so disappointed. I just listened to episode 142. The Cover up of the Tragic USS Liberty Incident. It is complete garbage. I know about this subject and I could tell right away that is was wrong. Now I won’t trust any of the...”Read full review »

“Great podcast that exposes listeners to lesser known stories and dives deeper into perhaps more well known stories. I know I can pick just about any episode and enjoy it. Most episodes end with me trying to find the books mentioned and learning more. The host does not dominate the interviews and...”Read full review »

“To go along with the already stellar podcast, Justin sells items on his personal store. Escape and evasion kits, his books, etc. I ordered one of these products and was sent an extremely similar, albeit different, product in the mail. I emailed Justin with a picture of my order and what I...”Read full review »

“I subscribe to most espionage-related podcasts, and this is easily my favorite one.
The topics are diverse and interesting, the interviews are very well done.
If you’re a fan of history of the Cold War or spycraft, there’s no podcasts I can recommend above this one.”

“I really like this podcast but „the truth about Snowden“ contained a ton of uninformed stuff that anyone can verify with open source info and by reading the actual quoted news outlets. The interviewed person was allowed to spread a lot of nonsense without being challenged. Please do better.”
