Gripping story

Binged this in a couple nights! Fascinating with a good blend of suspense and occasional humor.

Great spy story

This was a great Cold War Russia-USA spy story. An easy podcast series to binge-which I did! The interviews with their neighbors, friends and coworkers really brought their story to life. The narration was fantastic.

So well done.

I’ve noticed that some podcasts have minimal advertising but some are like watching a cable television sitcom with all the commercials.
Like come on already this is a podcast.
Another aspect of podcasts that I don’t enjoy are the seemingly endless run of credits and end music after each episode. I listen to audible whilst I’m working and can’t always fast forward through these bits.
This series has no end of episode credits …you barely even know it has progressed to the next episode and NO COMMERCIALS!!!! And obviously having a British narrator like Rosalind Pike is another score.
Well done Audible and BBC!

Makes me think twice about who I REALLY know. Full of detail, interviews from real friends. Absolutely must listen.

What I love most about this Audible Original is how they tell the REAL story behind the Russian Spy Ring. The news made this story all about Anna Chapman but this audio series delves into the story of a Mother and Father who are much more interesting including their real life friends and co workers. You learn so much that was left out and it’s much more interesting. Makes me think TWICE about who I know.

Fascinating

This was a fascinating story, excellently told by Rosamond Pike. I liked that it was told in bite-size pieces (even though I ended up listening to the whole thing in one evening)!
