Available for 27 days

Historian Ben Macintyre joins Dermot to talk about his new book Redwood: The Most Extraordinary Spy of the Cold War. ‘Redwood’ was the MI6 codename for this unsung, hitherto unknown hero of the Cold War, a highly-trained six-foot-four Russian intelligence officer who chose to expose the KGB’s deepest secrets, compelled to swap sides by a shaming secret of his own. Plus, a wedding and The Mystery Voice. An Ora et Labora production for BBC Radio 2.
