About this listen

Journey back to the height of the Cold War in this non-fiction Audible Original. It’s 1984. US intelligence officers battling the Soviets know that KGB spies could be anywhere. Anywhere except the FBI. Because the Bureau has never been compromised -- until now. In this noir, spy thriller, we follow the life and mystery of Richard W. Miller, the first FBI agent arrested for espionage against his own country.

When Miller is spotted with a suspected Soviet spy and former FBI Informant, it sets off a chain of events that will threaten national security, shake public faith in the institutions meant to protect Americans, destroy a family, and derail careers. Featuring the voices of Congressman Adam Schiff, Richard W. Miller’s family, former US Attorney Robert Bonner, and veteran reporter Linda Deutsch - and based off of extensive research, including Miller’s own prison diaries and trial transcripts spanning 7 years. Expect intrigue, suspense, and a modern exploration of a remarkable past event.

    For decades, the FBI has kept the KGB from infiltrating their ranks. Until now. When FBI agent Richard W. Miller and Russian emigre Svetlana Ogorodnikova are spotted near the Soviet consulate in San Francisco, the news travels all the way to Bureau Headquarters. Within days, a completely unprecedented investigation is launched in order to answer the urgent question: is there a mole in the FBI?

    The investigation of alleged KGB Spy Richard W. Miller - code named Operation Whipworm - is missing a smoking gun. Hundreds of agents, thousands of man hours, all under absolute secrecy, and still no ironclad proof that Miller is a spy. That changes when Miller and Svetlana buy tickets to Vienna for a meeting with the Soviets. Now, the FBI has 16 days to nail its suspects. But as the Bureau gets ready to close in, Miller does the one thing they never expected.

    Episode 3: The Double Agent
    Nov 24 2020

    Three months before anyone suspected him of espionage, a phone call changed Richard W. Miller’s life. The caller told Miller she had information on the KGB’s activities. Miller was on the Soviet Counterintelligence squad, but just barely. After years of screwups he wasn’t the most popular agent. This was his chance to turn things around. Miller got approval for the meeting. And nothing -for him or the FBI -would ever be the same. [Contains sensitive content]

I loved this podcast. Spy stories and what they did is always interesting especially when you hear the CIA was run by Mormons and because of this, this so called spy was able to do what he did. He effectively was a Mormon misfit who wanted to be James Bond was allowed by the agency to nearly filfill his dreams and then was prosecuted because it showed the agency for what it was.

Truly Enthralling
