In Episode 1, Neil gives us an update on the impact of the fires in LA and we discuss the efforts to dismantle the Federal Government. We’re also introducing two new regular segments: 1) Bible passages we wish biblical literalists would take literally and 2) things Neil thinks Americans should know about the rest of the world. So obviously, we will talk about Psalm 72 and English Premier League Darts.

The two global superpowers decided it would be a good idea to each stage an exhibition in the other’s country. Designed to encourage cultural exchange and to increase mutual understanding, in truth, it was more a means to show off the latest technology and propagandize.

The art in espionage is the ability to hide in plain sight and the greatest of spies are the ones you never learn about.
This statement rings true in the case of Anthony Blunt.
His life seemed predestined for greatness. A Cambridge graduate with familial ties to the Royal Family, he was the very picture of establishment respectability. His brilliance as a polymath, fluency in multiple languages, and renown as a world-class art historian made him virtually untouchable, and he knew it.
