Code Name Hero: Oleg Penkovsky has been called The Man Who Saved the World, a Russian intelligence agent who spied for the West until he was caught and executed by the Soviets. But were things really as they seemed with him? Or was he a double agent?

Did Oleg Penkovsky Actually Save The World?

From the minds of Joe Swaney from the Thinking Sideways podcast and filmmaker Vincent Caldoni: Mysteries, history, true crime, tales of the unexplained, conspiracies and mirth! If you are of a certain age you may remember how newspapers worked: the headline told you the news and the front pages gave you the basics of the story but if you wanted the details-the real story the messy stuff, the backstory, you had to flip to the back of the section, past the fluff pieces, past the ads, and whatever else to get to it and if you were like us that was the good stuff-the details that shock.
