Spying for Saudi

In this week’s episode, we focus attention on Aimen’s homeland:
Saudi Arabia. Arabia is as old as time, and we explore how the
depth and profundity of its history inform the present day. Saudi
Arabia is also, as we’ll show, where the Cold War began, and to
understand how, we’ll explain the way in which long-standing
British power in the region gave way, fitfully and almost without
anyone noticing, to those upstart imperialists from Thomas’s
homeland: the United States. And we’ll see how the Cold War world
of spycraft, ideological conflict, and state paranoia continues
into the present, through Aimen’s take on the notorious murder of
Jamal Khashoggi. Listen to exclusive bonus content and get all
