What happens when a Tudor-era spy chief and a Cold War double agent come face to face in the afterlife?
In this riveting episode of History’s Afterlife, Elizabeth I’s Protestant spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham meets Kim Philby, the Cambridge-educated traitor who fed British secrets to Moscow. Across centuries and ideologies, the two men debate loyalty, faith, deception—and whether serving a cause ever justifies betrayal.
🕵️♂️ Inside this gripping dialogue:
• Walsingham's war against Catholic conspiracies vs. Philby’s double life inside MI6
• Religion, communism, and the moral fog of intelligence work
• Whether treason can ever be virtuous—or if conviction is just a mask for self-interest
• How two men, both convinced of their righteousness, helped shape the modern world of espionage
