SpyCast covers the capture of Carlos the Jackal — his evolution from privileged Venezuelan to Cold War-era terrorist, his alliances with state sponsors, and the CIA operation that finally brought him in. Good intelligence-operations content with Cold War context, though the framing is more thriller than analytical.
