Kim Philby: Greatest Liar of All Time?

Kim Philby might just be the greatest liar and most successful double agent in modern history, a charming, hard-drinking British aristocrat who spent decades as one of MI6's most trusted intelligence officers while secretly feeding top-level secrets to the Soviets. Josh and Chuck trace his path from radicalized Cambridge student to Cold War spymaster, unpacking how he infiltrated fascist circles during the Spanish Civil War, cozied up to future CIA legends in Washington, and even ended up leading Britain's own hunt for Soviet moles — all while being the mole himself. It's a wild, twisty story of betrayal, charisma, and unbelievable audacity that makes you wonder how he got away with it for so long.
