I enjoy this show, have been with it since the very beginning with Hayley Atwell. Listening every week was a true pandemic lockdown comfort for me. I know ads are a necessary evil part of the podcasting experience, but really? A political ad? This isn’t TV, it’s not live radio, why would you risk...Read full review »

This is probably one of the best podcasts out there. The storytelling has you on edge of your seat. There is nothing pedestrian about it. Enjoy learning about history’s most famous spy operations! 🕵️‍♂️👀

I enjoy this podcast, and pay for ad free episodes and more. I’m disappointed in the frequent (and retitled) repeat episodes. You all need to do better or I’m going to cancel.

Is there disinformation in the disinformation episode? Thought it was proven prior to release of this episode that the 50 something agents were untruthful about the existence of a laptop prior to the 2020 election? Just found this podcast and had really been enjoying the ‘True Spy’ stories from...Read full review »

You are ruining this pod cast by pushing your social agenda on global warming. Most people don’t understand the fallout from a nuclear war….. what a joke. Your political affiliation is leaking into the podcast and is destroying the whole podcast. Done with it!!!!

You lost all credibility when you had Nina Jankowicz on.

Brilliant! Has me on the edge of my seat!

Listen to the one on Orwell, why is the guest whispering? Weird.

Listened to the disinformation episode. It actively pushes, and whitewashes, Western disinformation under the guise of reporting on Russian disinformation, the significance of which it over-inflates. Not interested in listening to more.

I used to enjoy this show, but recently it has declined. They often use the term ‘allegedly’ on some episodes when discussing negative aspects related to Democrats, even when there’s clear evidence to the contrary. I wish they would focus on factual information rather than subtly injecting their...Read full review »

Informative and entertaining to listen to
Roger_Gilbert via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/13/24
Good podcast overall but random audio effects put on narration for dramatic impact are more irksome and distracting rather than good (reverb added to words or other effects) and a bit too much playing up the drama throughout rather than just telling the story but otherwise good and entertaining

She lies about Jan 6 and what Trump said and what was done afterwards. If you like hearing lies it’s a great show to listen too
scottnicholtx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/24
This was one of my favorite podcasts, but I’ve now unfollowed and removed all episodes from my library after the “disinformation” episode. I’m all for different viewpoints and encourage healthy debate in conversation, but the entire episode was very clearly an attack on Trump and served no...Read full review »

The “disinformation” episode was the last straw. Completely dishonest accounting of the Hunter Biden “debunked” laptop story, not calling out Hillary Clinton planting false stories on Trump, but claiming Trump is super evil, etc. Wish they stuck to what worked (spy stories). Now, I’m unfollowing...Read full review »

Last podcast was very disappointing Having a Leftist continue with lies such as ivermectin was not help for covid that was misinformation having people take horse medicine Thats an absolute lie and misinformation in itself Very sad to listen to whole episode that alienates half the audience
cal7brady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/24
Always loved this show and the stories. But now I keep hearing political ideologies. Not what I’d expect from a spy show. I’m done.

Mostly a great podcast but occasionally the guests are agenda driven and the “facts” are spurious at best.
gaddy DC via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/01/24
I’ve been listening for 3 years and it’s fantastic.
NYCDisco via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/24
I usually enjoy this podcast a lot but this week’s episode had all the elements of the woke agenda so I stopped listening. It’s a boring topic by now so I’m disappointed you couldn’t do better, like you normally do. Hopefully next week you’ll return to your normal story style.
Ymkov via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
Really great content and guests. The writing is good, I think the stories and explanations are done well. My gripe is with the hypothetical questions asked to the listener, which are jarring. I’m already thinking about what I would do, I don’t need to be asked directly, it completely disrupts the...Read full review »

Each episode is interesting and professionally produced!
Poolboy999 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/24
I’ve been loving this podcast - never a dull moment and also really fascinating and inspiring. It’s also led me down several rabbit holes on my own and finding books and background stories - much appreciated!

Look forward to it each week!

Utterly brilliant recounting, story-telling, production, editing… the works. Well done to all involved.

I love this show and it’s content is well researched.

Astounding!!!

Oof. For every fun episode, there appears to be 5 Mossad propaganda episodes.
Brocass via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
It is so odd to make a show like this, then have, what appears to be, only one source for the info. This one source, who speaks often, is frequently provably inaccurate and seems to present his assumptions, in many cases, as common opinions or even facts. It is sad, because the horrors the CIA...Read full review »

The channel offers a mix of the good and the bad. Many of the autobiographical stories and explorations are fascinating. Some of the historical retellings tend to be more varied. As an example, relying on a conspiracy theorist like David Talbot to weigh in on the early history of the Cold War...Read full review »

I love this podcast and these stories, many of which I’m familiar with or had at least heard of, but getting a complete telling of them really pulls the curtain back. Not sure why so many people are leaving negative reviews claiming political bias. The CIA has done something’s that, with today’s...Read full review »

I am keen listener to Spycast podcast and have enjoyed every episode I have listened to. This one, COINTELPRO left me feeling like there is hope in the world when good people do speak up. I don’t do reviews, but this podcast deserved one. Thank you.
Dilidog via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/30/23
There seem to be a lot of negative reviews on the podcast and I think that comes from the misconception that the guests are without their own bias. These stories are really interesting and should be used as a starting point to look into a topic further especially on a political or polarizing...Read full review »
K-Mack 28 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/23
The negative reviews seem to forget that these are the stories of the guests not the podcast, and their stories are for your individual consideration, not necessarily fact or the opinion of those who run this podcast. The stories are informative and the people who are so bothered by different...Read full review »

Loved ‘The Watchmaker’, the story of the attempt to bring down the Real IRA. The guest helps by being informative, to the point, long on facts and short on speculation, conjecture and conspiracy theories (which can plague a few episodes of True Spies). Sophia Di Martino’s narration is spot on,...Read full review »

Unsubstantiated left wing garbage. Dulles episode was a complete joke

Yet another thing ruined by moronic, woke leftists. 🙄

When you say that the Guatemalan president was headed toward Marxism, but later in the episode, whine about the way that president’s efforts toward bringing democracy to his country were upset….we’ll, which is it? Was he a Marxist, or did he want democracy? Those two things are not...Read full review »

Daisy Ridley’s season has taken a decidedly anti-western anti-NATO stance. It’s too bad. We may not be perfect, but we are the “good guys.” Daisy is a little too hyperbolic and emphatic, too.
Shankill1688 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/05/23
The stories are good, the “style” is too over the top.

It has been good for years. Starting to feel more like an attack sgow over these last 5-6 months.

I love this Podcast a lot and since my last review, True Spies has Spy Channels for every service.

Leftists are racists, not so-called conservatives or rightwingers. From the Civil War to Jim Crow to the Civil Rights era to cancel culture, CRT, and the woke movement, it’s ALWAYS been the Democratic Party behind white supremacy and oppression of Blacks. The Republican Party stands for freedom...Read full review »

First season and Kirby era was pretty consistently good standard. Really running out of steam now….
