In this episode of "Listen and Learn," I dive into the fascinating world of espionage.

I kick off by exploring the etymology of "espionage," linking it back to its French roots and discussing related terms like reconnaissance and surveillance.

My curiosity piqued, I ponder whether my FBI neighbor might be a spy, shifting the conversation to a lighthearted tone before delving into how spies are actually recruited and what their work involves.

We highlight notable cases such as the Rosenbergs, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, and Kim Philby, examining how they were caught and the broader implications of their actions.

Learned so much this week! Thank you ChatGPT!
