The Rest Is Classified podcast is a must listen.

I’ve been binging the Podcast The Rest Is Classified from Goalhanger a network with a bunch of interesting shows. It’s UK-centric which is a nice since a lot of the big networks are US-based.

The latest series is about a KGB officer who is spying for the British MI6 during the waning years of the Cold War.

What I like most about it is the hosts David McCloskey and Gordon Corera do the show as a conversation and it’s not an over the top production.

McCloskey is a former CIA analyst turned spy novelist and Corera is a security corespondent. Their banter makes the hour-long shows really fun to listen to.
