Emily Brandwin may be one of the funniest guests we have had on the show. She is an ex-CIA agent, ex-Stand up comic, present day comedy writer. No, we are serious.
You will enjoy this conversation where:
- We find out how a haiku landed her in the CIA?
- Why did she even apply in the first place?
- Pretexting, pretexting and more pretexting – top tips from a spy
- Does Chris really own a cat suit?
- Can he truly speak pirate?
- There is just so much more….
This is one to not miss!
