Thanks to a listener request this week we look at former Australian Defence intelligence officer Jean Baptiste Wispeleare: an epic tale of espionage, deceit and betrayal. From his attempt to sell US secrets to his time languishing in a US prison cell we look at how he went about creating his James Bond adventure, how he was foiled and how ASIO could have gotten his security clearance so wrong. Strap in for a spy story that reads like a Greek tragedy.
