The legendary spymaster known only as the Man Without a Face lived a life of concealment. He was rarely ever seen by outsiders during his time in power. He used spycraft to gain secrets by targeting the lonely. Over the span of decades, the Man Without a Face supplied a steady stream of Romeos across the wall to get to Juliets and the secrets they had access to. In the world of espionage, those who have access are powerful and vulnerable. They are sought after, pursued and targeted. But even the loneliest of spies needs to leave the shadows at some time and step into the light to show their face... and who they really are.  <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Honey Traps, Romeos & Juliets: The Life of Lonely Spies

A life of solitude was imposed on millions of us during the pandemic due to the coronavirus. Being alone is a life chosen deliberately by some; others are just alone, not by choice. We can end up unexpectedly alone and for many, the twists and turns of life, brought us to where we are. Experts and researchers around the world share their insights about what we know about loneliness, we find meaning of it from songs, art, books, films, history and pop culture. We isolate the lessons of loneliness from people like you and people like me who have unique stories to tell and to share. Everyone feels lonely at times. But let’s begin to explore why. My name is Peg Fong, I’m a journalist and an educator who has been fascinated by what loneliness means. We’re not here to solve loneliness. But to add one voice to another so that we are alone together. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
