Already doing encore episodes
Dont really see the point in doing encore episodes when you’re only 17 episodes deep

Not at all a fan of the Encore episodes
Re-airing old episodes as “new” is disappointing and lazy. I love this show, but disappointed I pay for a “plus” subscription to get early access to episodes that have already aired.

Outstanding!
I enjoy history, so when I came across this podcast I was immediately enthralled by the stories we never knew about the spy realm. However, I do have one suggestion. Whenever there is only one narrator, it becomes hard to follow who is saying what. If both Indira Varma and Raza Jaffrey were in the same season, it would definitely help us listeners follow the story. I would suggest this podcast to those who enjoy history, spy, or just drama stories. Overall, great podcast and can’t wait to see what else Wondry comes up with! 😃

Love this podcast
I love reading spy novels and can’t believe it took my this to start listening to spy podcasts. By far the best podcast of this genre.

Fabulous storytelling
I love this podcast. I found it a month ago. I’m already in season 12. The factual information combined with the way the stories are told is just perfect.

So so so so good!
I adore this podcast. It's like listening to a thrilling movie every episode. Sometimes I wish there were different voices doing the dialogue in the scenes that are being acted out for clarity. But still, it's so well done that even that note won't take away a star.

Meh
This type of podcast where only the host talks and does dialogue being all the characters is super annoying. The host is playing every character- woman, man, adult child, super not fun to listen to. Would rather hear reporting and storytelling not reenactments

It is extremely captivating and interesting. It hooks you in and you can’t stop until the stories over.

🥱
Meh. It’s a fine thing to listen to if you’re trying to sleep but once you start to pay attention listening to them it doesn’t take long to realize how silly and overwrought each episode is. Indira Varma has a nice voice and does a good job but the other guy is a total hack, it’s obvious that he thinks he’s got a REALLY sexy presentation 🤮 and it’s super gross to experience. Get over yourself buddy, gimme a break

Great show, but…
I love this show and have binged it entirely. But, it’s clear there are bias against America/Americans in this show. America isn’t perfect by any means, but don’t write the script like Britain and other countries don’t do the same covert manipulations.

Great, Except for Bias
This is a great show, except for the blatant bias shown in some episodes. I’ll change it to 5 stars when I hear an episode where Biden supposedly has a conversation where he doesn’t have the world’s best interest at heart.

Perfection 12/10
The narration is SO good. The dramatization is clean and smooth, the voice acting is phenomenal. Not to mention that both hosts just have mesmerizing voices. The stories are extremely interesting but it’s the writing that takes the cake. Excellent. One of my top 5 favorites. And to head off any complaints about each series being “too short”, that’s how the narrative is kept tight and oh SO engaging. 14/10 FR

Can’t stop listening!
This is my newest podcast series and now one of my top picks! So interesting and well presented. I knew some of the stories prior to listening but the research and detail here are amazing. Only listed to season 4 but def going to seasons 1 thru 3 next!

Noor means LIGHT
I knew a lot about the SOE, the female agents, and Khan before the podcast. I knew what was coming and it still had me on the edge of my seat. And you had me in a flood of tears at the end. Absolutely “brutaful,” as the saying goes. The Man who saved MI5… GAAAHHHH!!! So interesting and riveting. Going to have to wait to listen to the 007 and bin Laden episodes because I CAN NOT be disturbed with other conversations while listening. So engrossing. The History is handled well, the narrators are two of my favorite actors, and it’s just one of the finest podcasts I’ve ever listened to.

Season 3 (Noor Khan) was especially super!
I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning but especially liked Season 3 and Noor Khan. Since she had grown up in Paris and spoke the “native” form of French (as opposed to Canadian/Quebec), she could have easily “fit in.” I especially liked her background (a “pacifist” and taught to not lie); she was such an amazing person—I would have enjoyed meeting her personally. Thanks so very, very much for telling us (me!) her story and the fact that she was so brave, even to the bitter end. I (from across “the pond”) had visited Dachau in the winter in late 1973 on a dreary day; I would have loved to have known about Noor and her “sacrifice” at that time! A true hero for me.

Worth the cost for Wondery+
This podcast alone makes the Wondery+ subscription worth it. Great story telling about amazing people you’ve never heard of. Particularly appreciate that they’re telling the stories of the women of the SOE.

I loved it

Incredible!
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast. Having it dramatised just makes it even more interesting, I waited eagerly for each episode. The history we do not know about the men and women that fought for us is fascinating. It makes me so grateful there were people like this. Thank you for making this.
