Spycraft: A Behind the Curtain Look into the Intelligence Community


Listen Later

There is something about a good spy story that seems to really resonate with people in the cybersecurity world. We love watching the moves and the counter moves, and the sneaking around, and the social engineering, and hacking, and all of the gadgets and toys, and car chases, and fights and double crosses and triple crosses. Yeah, you get the point. 

But how much of that is real and how much can be chalked up to an author's creative license? And what's life and work like for real people in the intelligence industry?

This episode features two guests: ex-CIA agent Peter Warmka and Andrew Hammond, historian and curator at the International Spy Museum.
