Today we visit the International Spy Museum in the Penn Quarter of Washington DC. We recommend you take Metro to the Gallery Place/Chinatown exit.

We start off after standing in line at the elevator, by picking an alias, which we memorize, then visit a large exhibit on the tools and techniques of the spy.(3:15)

We follow the exhibits into some exhibits related to the history of spying which start in ancient history. (7:40)

We play The Spy Song by Swayze. It comes to us via the Podsafe Music Network. (11:18)

We continue on with the history of spying, the highlight of which is the section on World War II spying, and the Cold War. (15:34)

We play Sputnik Spy from Outer Space by The Modest Lads. It also comes to us via the Podsafe Music Network. (25:27)

We finish up our visit exploring what spying might look like in the future. (31:24)
