Great listen

I enjoyed listening to this podcast. To learn that there are Russian spies living in other countries is shocking. Everyone needs to listen to this.

Gripping, informative and expertly woven together

I absolutely loved this from start to finish. So many varied voices woven together to build a really rich, informative and human idea of what it must actually be like to be a deep cover spy. As a mum as well, I couldn't help but empathise with the normal work balance struggles despite the totally alien idea of leading a double life as a spy. Just fascinating! Really well written - seamlessly weaving in different perspectives.

Great mix of commentary and facts

It was well scripted and just the right detail level. I enjoyed it. The narration was well paced with some reflection but mostly good sources of info- those real people close to the story.

Addictive bingeworthy series

I came to this as a sceptic with expectations of an OTT spy story. How wrong was I! This is an excellent production with an engaging cast supporting the unfolding story narrated by Rosamund Pike.

The Spies Among Us

An excellent insight into Russian clandestine operations. This is the REAL story behind the TV series 'The Americans".

Great one who likes spy stories and documentaries

I enjoyed every second, the sound, the story, and conversations. I spent my Friday listening to it at the office, and it was worth it.
