New Patreon exclusive show "Extra Shot" launching tomorrow

We are launching an extra show that will be a Patreon exclusive and it will follow immediately after each Espresso Martini. The new show is called “Extra Shot” and it will give us an opportunity to talk about stories we didn’t cover but we really wanted to. Also, we may talk about any stories or bits of history that are on our mind at the moment and in time we plan to get on the odd guest and hopefully even some listeners. So to get access to Extra Shot you will need to go to  www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpies You will need to pick a subscription level, and depending on which level you select, you will get a complimentary Secrets & Spies coffee cup or set of coasters.  So, we hope that sounds good value to you, you will be directly supporting this podcast, and if it becomes popular, we will be open to expanding and making more content exclusively for you. So to get access to Extra Shot you will need to go to  www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpies

Quick Update, no podcast this week due to Chris being unwell

Hi all, I hope you are well. I'm sorry to say there will not be a podcast this week due to my coming down with a nasty cold that has become Bronchitis. I'm on some meds and taking it easy. Good news, if all goes well we should have a new Espresso Martini out on 11th March and my Ukraine interview with Matthew Orr over that week. Until then wishing you all good health and a great weekend.
