Bonus Weekend Podcast: Spies and Espionage

Earlier this week, we discussed a film about the East German Stasi, and a secretive US government agency. On this week’s Bonus Weekend Podcast, we have decided to take a closer look at the world of espionage and spy craft. In 2014, Leonard spoke with Morten Storm, a six-foot-one, red-haired Dane who became a double agent for the CIA after a decade as a jihadi. That same year we learned about Jamie Smith, who said he was ex-CIA, Harvard educated, a co-founder of Blackwater, and a hired gun, all lies in as an effort to get millions in government contracts—and he succeeded! And in 2015 Leonard spoke with the one and only Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. At the time, he had some sympathy for Hillary Clinton and her email scandal. Make sure you listen until the end to hear what he has to say.
