“I was put off by the voice used for commentary at the end of each episode as well as the repetitive and long recap at the beginning of each episode. That said, this is a very entertaining podcast. Good job. Please continue your work.”

“Love the show,
why do you run a commercial/intro fully 8 minutes in the middle chapters?
Do you think after 6 chapters I’d forgotten what I was listening to?
Or is that done to benefit your Alzheimer’s affected listeners ?
Still a great show, just an odd marketing technique….”

Instead of moving on to the next episode, or even silence, I’m thrown into a preview of another show. The secondary...”Read full review »

“If this guy is to be believed, women are endlessly throwing themselves at him because he’s just so irresistible. Hmm…I’ll take that with a grain of salt, which leads me to conclude the same about the rest of his story”

“I loved this story. Jack did some careless and destructive things in this life. He’s the first to say so. This podcast - and Jack’s honesty - really allow the listener to experience a tiny bit of the intensity, the struggle, the victories, and the losses of this man’s unique life experience....”Read full review »

“Jack Barsky sounds like a terrible person tbh. Not cuz he’s a spy, I’m cool w that. But because he’s this crazy narcissistic douche who thinks I care about his personal life—I don’t.
That’s the problem w this podcast. It’s a very cool subject ruined by its lack of direction. There’s NOT A DROP...”Read full review »

“The story itself is fascinating. When Jack talks, you want to listen. Sadly, the melodramatic narrator, useless sound effects, and poor editing combined with a story structure that jumps around too much, basically gets in the way. The show is worth a listen; just be prepared to be confused at...”Read full review »

“This is one of the best podcasts going around. Jack’s story is so compelling, and presented in such an engaging way, I simply couldn’t turn it off. And that’s saying something because I usually struggle to get through more than a few episodes of most podcasts. Fantastic.”

“I served in the U.S. Army in the 1980s on the East German Border in the Fulda Gap. We had encounters with Soviet Military Liason Mission (SMLM). I thoroughly enjoyed this. It takes me back to the heady days of the end of the Cold War. This needs to go to TV or the big screen. Get it to Netflix ASAP.”
