This week we have spies! We have cops! And we have... well, movies and that doesn't really fit into the theme so there goes our exciting show notes intro. Liz delves into what it's like to be a spy in ASIO with the podcast I Spied. Zane looks at a podcast that takes fan favourite movies and obliterates them with Gutting the Sacred Cow. And Nick brings us a podcast that goes undercover to look at police violence in the USA with The Untold Story: Policing. Then your fave Castologists get down to the reviews of last week's recommendations.

Liz Recommends - I Spied

"What is ASIO? I'm sure you've all heard of it, but do you really know what it does? Is it as sexy as James Bond leads us to believe or is it just part of the political fabric? Who better to give us the ins and outs than former ASIO intelligence officer, now comedian David Callan and National news director at Nova and journalist Michelle Stephenson. I Spied will take a look at the dark underbelly of the intelligence world and give its love-handles a damn good shake. .

For both: It seems kind of serial-y even though it strictly isn't so start at the start. There are a few references to past stories each ep so beginning at ep 1 is probably best.

Nick Recommends - The Untold Story: Policing

When it comes to policing in America, a seemingly impenetrable system stands in the way of ending police violence. Join host and actor Jay Ellis (Insecure, Top Gun: Maverick, Mrs. America) as he seeks to explore the untold story of policing. Jay’s mission: demystify police union contracts, separate truth from fiction, and deliver some concrete steps that can end violent police misconduct across the United States. In this four-part series, Jay seeks the guidance of academics, data scientists, organizers and city officials to learn more about the egregious systems currently in place and the pressure that the public can apply to strengthen justice and accountability.
