Nine years after nervously recording episode one, Shane Whaley celebrates a major Spybrary Spy Podcast milestone: episode 300.
In this reflective and forward-looking episode, Shane shares how Spybrary began, why the community has kept it going, and what comes next for the Spybrary spy podcast. From guest hosts and new author interview formats to Cold War spy files, reader debriefs, author panels, Dead Drop 5's, Section F spy film podcast discussions, and the continued growth of the curated Dead Drop newsletter.
This is a thank-you to every listener, reader, Spybrary Patreon supporter, Facebook group member, author, historian, and fellow spy fiction obsessive who has helped make Spybrary what it is today.
