I’ve been listening for 3 years and it’s fantastic.

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.

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!

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.

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 »
Cob Salad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/23
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
FX41 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/23
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.
Could_not_watch_this_movie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/23
It has been good for years. Starting to feel more like an attack sgow over these last 5-6 months.

Not sure where this contributor is coming from ? 🤔 Hendrik, Melbourne, Australia

I love this Podcast a lot and since my last review, True Spies has Spy Channels for every service. I have been a very longtime Diehard Podcast Fan and I have a huge Audible Addiction and Listen to True Spies there also. One thing I forgot to mention is with audible and audio podcasts if the...Read full review »

I Love this❤️ the BEST podcast I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy.100% eye opening & done with the PERFECT narrators.in a word simply “captivating”
HOLLIBOYBAD via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/27/23
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….
tuxster via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/28/23
So terribly woke - it’s unbearable.
DISAPPOINTED 000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/23
Some episodes are riveting.
stu gatsa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/23
Full of ads and repetition though
mnytdvloddem via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/08/23
Brilliant podcast that delves into the stories of espionage. The pacing of the narratives is superb and keeps you hooked until the end. All the hosts are fantastic, but man, Vanessa Kirby has one of those voices that is utterly captivating. Would love for her to come back as the host once Sophia...Read full review »

This is one of my go to podcasts. Well produced with excellent storytelling. For those complaining about subscriptions. You want something for nothing? Do you go to work for free? The professionals work hard to produce this product. If you don’t want to pay then don’t subscribe. As for those...Read full review »
Joseph A. P. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
Each episode (especially undercover cop) is such an overdramatized tale. If an undercover feels the need to turn their “mission” into a fantasy episode then perhaps in the wrong business. It’s embarrassing listening to some of these. People wanting to create heros out of themselves. So unoriginal
Ty Ploucha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/23
This is such a great podcast. Every episode is fantastic!
Mk_nl via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 04/02/23
Love this podcast. So interesting to hear these real stories! But I question many of the sound effects used. Why, oh why, is there a rainbird-style lawn sprinkler going off in nearly every episode??
PhotoJoseph via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
I enjoy this podcast for both entertainment and historical content!
Westwind4466 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/23
Great podcast if you can get past the exclusively western-centric POV of these stories . Would love to hear some episodes from the “Bad Guy’s” perspective. There are tons of big league foreign agencies with great stories that have been seemingly ignored.
NMNMNMN001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/23
I mostly enjoyed it until I started getting whiffs of political bias. Comparing Trump to Slobodan Milosevic ruined it for me. If it were something similar aimed at a D president I know you wouldn’t have aired it. In that statement he’s doing exactly what he’s accusing Trump of and you’re...Read full review »
B&SWalk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
There are some good topics, but if your politics are not left leaning, a bias will harm the story. Comparing Trump to Milosevic was the final straw.
Boyd4305 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/23
The interviews with guests are fascinating but the narration is at times superfluous. The frequent question “What would you do?” Irks me greatly. Maybe I should get out more.
ohairymcgary via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/27/22
It is so good that it is like a film it invokes visual senses listening to it🫡

CIA agent = traitor
VietSchlong via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/22
Not willing to pay for a subscription. It was only a matter of time before commercialisation of podcasts spoiled the product. It’s sad as I really enjoyed True Spies but I feel like I’m being nicked and dimes to death with these individual podcast subscriptions.
JCfromJKT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/11/22
Great with the Kirby hosting! new one is shocking
ALeni96 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/07/22
Love the show but please bring back Vanessa Kirby
lolamoon66 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/03/22
Great podcast but now it’s a subscription only, so will have to say goodbye.
