Here's a podcast we think you'll really enjoy...

1951: two men flee to the Soviet Union under the cover of darkness. As the world wakes up, shocking details emerge of two highly trusted, senior British intelligence officers defecting. It was a national embarrassment - these were men who had spent two decades leading the BBC, MI6, and the government. This is the story of the Cambridge Spy Ring: how five men who embodied the British establishment blew it apart.
