Feedback on the show has been good and some questions have come in from listeners, so Rhys and Martin tackle a few of those including a bit more on Martin’s background and what he has in common with Vladimir Putin. Rhys will answer questions about keeping current once you leave an intelligence agency. They also talk about what a ‘customer’ of intelligence is.
Rhys and Martin then talk about their intelligence highlights for 2022 and this will touch on CIA and Ukraine, expulsions of Russian intelligence officers, and the release by NZSIS of the violent extremism indicators.
