You're listening to an Airwave Media Podcast. Welcome to True Spies, the podcast that takes you deep inside the greatest secret missions of all time. Suddenly out of the dark it's a bit of a lot. You'll meet the people who live life undercover. What do they know? What are their skills?

I'm TK, your tour guide to the past and you are listening to For the Love of History, the podcast where we talk about world history, women's history, and weird history.
