THRILL IS GONE: A PODCAST ABOUT THRILLERS Get caught up on all that you've missed. Books. Deceptions. Fast cars (but mostly slow ones!). A podcast for classic thrillers and the people who love them.

THRILL IS GONE 038: COLD WARRIORS In this episode, I talk about the book Cold Warriors by Duncan White. The book takes a look at the Cold War through the lives of the greatest novelists on both sides of the Iron Curtain. White details critical moments in the lives of Orwell, Koestler, McCarthy, Pasternak and others. It was a time when books were weapons of war and authors wielded them for and against both sides of the conflict. The episode also gets into typewriters, particularly my Royal 260, which plays AM radio and, for the most part, can still type. This is the thirty-eighth episode of Thrill is Gone: A podcast about thrillers. If you like what you hear, subscribe to the channel and leave a pleasant sounding comment.

Thrill is Gone E036: Jefferson Morley - The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton In this episode, I interview author Jefferson Morley about his book The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton. Morley paints a sweeping portrait of the cunning and paranoia that defined a man who sat at the center of American intelligence from its inception. The conversation takes us from Angleton's humble beginnings in Idaho all the way through the internal mole hunt that defined the latter stages of his CIA career. Morley tells us, "Angleton's story is sort of the American version of Tinker Tailor." Give it a listen and support Jefferson Morley's work by buying a copy of his book at JeffersonMorleyBooks.com. Order a signed copy as a gift for the thriller lover in your life (that might be you).

THRILL IS GONE 034: THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY In this episode, we talk about LeCarre's 1977 epic novel The Honourable Schoolboy. The follow-up to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is massive in scope and ambitious in tone. LeCarre takes a risk, leaving the familiar fields of Europe for the cities and jungles of southeast Asia. The result is something unlike anything he'd written before, both for better and worse.

THRILL IS GONE 033: MASTER OF THE SPY STORY (TIME - October 3, 1977) In this episode, we talk about the time LeCarre appeared on the cover of Time magazine. The October 3, 1977 cover featured LeCarre and a drawing of his latest release "The Honourable Schoolboy." We spend a little time chatting about "Agent Running in the Field's" debut on the bestseller list, former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove's opinion on LeCarre's "corrosive" impact on the intelligence world, and where spy writing sits in the world of literature.

THRILL IS GONE 032: TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY BOOK (1974) In this episode, we wrap up our month with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
