Beneath the veneer of the everyday lurks the realm of the spy. It's a dank, murky world full of dark corners, sinister motives and corroded morals. A place of paranoia and infiltration, sabotage and manipulation. From Wondery, I'm Indra Varma. And I'm Raza Jafri. This is The Spy Who. A show that takes you inside the twilight realm of espionage.
These are true stories you were never meant to hear, with secret operatives playing to very different rules. We'll reveal the invisible work of the world's intelligence services, unearthing daring missions packed with danger, deceit and double crosses. The Spy Who introduces you to the shadowy figures who risked everything to achieve their mission. Sometimes in service of the national interest, sometimes in the services of much more personal goals.
Like Oleg Lelin, the spy who sabotaged the KGB, or Dushko Popov, the spy who inspired 007. Even Noor Inayat Khan, the spy who was a princess. Follow The Spy Who on the Wondery app, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Or you can binge seasons of The Spy Who ad-free with Wondery+.
