New Podcast IMPOSTORS Exposes The Spy That May Not Have Been A Spy

Usually, spies don’t tell anyone they’re spies. Unless you’re James Bond, of course, in which case, you’re announcing to anyone with 25 feet, “I’m Bond, James Bond.”

A new podcast begins today called Impostors about a spy who may not even been a spy. Even though he claimed to be a spy for a quarter century!

Impostors from Parcast Studios is hosted by investigative journalist Alex French. Impostors is produced by Topic Studios and Transmitter Media.

Season one of Impostors runs for six episodes.
