Today, True Spies — the global hit espionage podcast from SPYSCAPE Studios that’s racked up tens of millions of downloads with its highly considered and humanizing portraits of some of history’s most compelling perpetrators of spycraft — announces an ambitious new slate of programming. 

Firstly, there’s an all-new season of True Spies. Now hosted by actressSophia Di Martino (Loki, Flowers), this season features some of True Spies’deepest reportage to-date, beginning with a series of episodes about one of the most consequential and notorious figures of the turn of the millennium:Osama Bin Laden

Featuring interviews with assorted CIA operatives, foreign affairs journalists, and more highly tuned-in individuals from an assortment of global perches, this three-episode arc tells the unvarnished truth about Bin Laden’s rise to power as the leader of Al-Qaeda, how he regularly thwarted assassination attempts, and how, following the tragic events of 9/11, a female border guard was the first domino to fall in the long hunt for the world’s most infamous terrorist.
