Ever thrown out milk from the fridge even though it’s only a day old? Decided not to go to a party because you just had a suspicion it would be boring as all hell? 

Don’t feel bad, it’s likely you share the same motto as one of the most powerful spies in history, Virginia Hall. 

Dubito ergo sum: I doubt, therefore I survive. 

This episode, we slink our way into the story of Virginia Hall, WWII spy, mountain climber, snake charmer and teeth filer. 

You’ll find out about Virginia’s life changing run in with an errant bullet in Turkey, her determination to become an international woman of mystery, how she became the most decorated civilian of the second world war and how her modus operandi lives on to this day.

Oh and also, how she outsmarted the famous Nazi known as The Butcher of Lyon. 

Et cetera. 

That’s a lot of Latin for one blurb, so before we get too carried away, let’s get into it.
