Interesting podcast, but The Rosenbergs Pt. 2 is missing the last couple minutes or so, it simply cuts off. I tried a different podcast player and realized that the episode shows on both players to be 41:13 long, but on the second player it continued to play for an extra couple minutes until the end. Please fix so it shows the correct length of the episode and continues to play to the end on all players! Thank you!

Description

Not all spies look like James Bond and Ethan Hunt. Most of them look like ordinary people, which makes them all the more dangerous... So what does it really take to be a spy? Every week, we cover a real-life spy mission: the stakes, the deception, the gadgets, and how it changed the course of history. Each two-part series follows one mission of a historic spy, and if they made it out alive. Espionage is a production of Cutler Media and part of the Parcast Network.
