The Rest Is Classified
Widely available, episodes weekly
The latest addition to Goalhanger’s stable of The Rest Is … shows focuses on espionage. It’s exactly what you’d expect: a slick, info-packed chat between two hosts with sparkling rapport – specifically CIA analyst turned spy novelist David McCloskey and veteran national security journalist Gordon Corera. They are looking at the 1953 Iranian coup, and it’s a hugely enjoyable tale of diplomacy, power play, drunkenness – and a man named Kermit. Alexi Duggins
