About this episode
Rick Spence is an apex expert on all things spies, occult, and conspiracy. A former professor at University of Idaho, he has a new podcast called Strange as it Seems where he tells the tales of many dark secrets you haven’t heard before. He also has a series on Great Courses.
We talk about the greatest spy in history, Kim Philby, as well as Aleister Crowly, MK Ultra, Scopalamine, Rudolf Hess being given Mexican Brain Poison, and Trotsky’s number 2 being found dead in the Adirondacks.
