Year of the Spy: Finding the Mole


Listen Later

In the mid-1980s, American intelligence found themselves in a complicated web. One after another, CIA assets inside the Soviet Union were being captured. Someone was leaking secrets—high-level secrets—and the U.S. intelligence community was desperate to find out who.

This episode dives into what became known as The Year of the Spy and the aftermath that followed. It was a tense and paranoid period when the CIA and FBI launched an unprecedented internal hunt for moles within their own ranks. As the KGB seemed to be one step ahead at every turn, suspicion spread through Langley and beyond. Could there be more than one traitor? And how did the Soviets manage to build these inroads?
