Agent Palmer, yes really Agent Palmer makes his debut on the Spybrary Podcast to deliver his brush pass review on Len Deighton's Yesterday's Spy! On Episode 33 of the Spybrary Spy Podcast, the Brush Pass review is back and we cover an author whose works we featured on our very first episode, the spy writing legend that is Len Deighton. Once you have listened to the review, check out Agent Palmer's blog post titled ‘Four Reasons to read Yesterday's Spy‘
These are recorded reviews sent in by Spybrary listeners that give us their first impressions of a spy book, spy movie or spy tv show soon after finishing it. We encourage all our Spybrary listeners to record their own brush pass reviews and send them in. Remember we are not academics here, Spybrary Spy Podcast is by spy fans for spy fans. (And we don’t always have to agree – vive la difference and all that.)
If you want to send in a brush pass review, record it on your smartphone and email to shane@spybrary.com We will do the rest. If your brush pass episode is aired then you will receive a $20 Amazon voucher as a thank you from us all at Spybrary!
