On this episode I am joined by former CIA analyst turned author David McCloskey.



David has written a fantastic new spy novel called Damascus Station”. I have to be honest David’s book is brilliant and sits in my favourite spy novels of all time.



On this episode David and I take a look at the situation in Syria, and look at how those real life elements informed his writing. 



And we ask the burning question…. Will the CIA hotdog machine return in David’s next book?
