Ep. 157: Spy Stories, Cracker Barrel, and the Bermuda Triangle
Description
Secret agents and espionage have long been a fascinating part of history, and have inspired some great books, movies, and television shows along the way. But are the true tales behind some of the world's craftiest spies crazier than anything fiction has to offer? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat conduct some undercover reconnaissance as they snoop into some of the wildest spy stories that history has to offer, from agents that spent years undercover, to those recruited specifically for special jobs, to some that weren't even actually spies at all, and more. The guys also deal with a handful of varying news stories this week, dish out a few opinions on the culinary arts, and share some thoughts on plenty of other topics along the way. Was a Major League baseball player better remembered not for his years on the diamond, but for his time as a spy in WWII? Did a guy manage to sway influence over a large swath of counterintelligence agents, only to be operating under his own delusions? Have some technological advancements got their launch as tools for espionage? Has the mystery of the 'Bermuda Triangle' finally been solved? For answers to these questions and many more, be sure to give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
