Spybrary Spy Podcast

My favorite episodes are “The Dead Drop 5”. But what’s just as impressive is the podcast’s Facebook group… I’ve never been part of an online community where authors and fans interact directly with one another. This is by far my favorite podcast!

If you’re a fan of spy movies or novels this is the podcast for you

I was completely hooked on Spybrary from the first time I listened. Host Shane Whaley is a clever and well-spoken interviewer, who takes his subject matter seriously but not overly so. Plus, he has a cool Welsh accent that helps set the mood. Some episodes cover deep dives into famous authors of the genre (e.g., Fleming and le Carre) while others include interviews with less well-known spy writers. Or, in the case of Jack Barsky, a very well-known actual spy. There's also much discussion of the crossover from books to film, especially as it relates to a certain Agent 007. The production values of Spybrary are excellent and each show moves along briskly, right down the "Lightning Round" of questions at the close. It's fun stuff, but even the most knowledgeable spy fan will learn something from each episode. I highly recommend it to any fan of spy books or movies.

I love reading spy books, but I have limited free time, and I want to know a book will be good before I buy it. Through Spybrary, I have discovered a world of authors and adventures I would never have found on my own, and they are amazing! Just this past week I learned about The Bitter Past from a Dead Drop 5 episode and found myself staying up way too late reading an excellent story. Shane Whaley is a tremendous host, and I genuinely love his interview style. Shane also invites others in the Spybrary community to guest host and do brush pass reviews. It is so much more than a podcast, it is a welcoming community!

You might want to tell the narrator that is was proven false Trumps alignment with Russia as he stated. Immediately quit listening. Might want to educate himself.
