Secrets, power and betrayal: LiSTNR launches second series of Secrets We Keep

LiSTNR has today released the second series of Secrets We Keep, a thrilling global story about secrets, power, national security and how countries behave when they think no-one is watching.

Secrets We Keep: Nest of Traitors follows LiSTNR investigative journalist Joey Watson on his three-year hunt to find the spy who betrayed Australia.

In the early 1990s, ASIO discovered that during the Cold War, the organisation was penetrated by a mole – with one of its own spies turning double agent for the Soviet Union

Watson says “Many warned me how difficult investigating a story like this would be, as the spy world is built on deception. But I was pulled in, and what started as a true crime ‘whodunnit’ yarn quickly evolved into a much bigger story about secrets and power.”

LiSTNR Head of News and Information Melanie Withnall says “Joey’s incredible exploration of international espionage takes so many twists and turns that it’s hard to believe these events happened in Australia, but they did.”

Secrets We Keep: Nest of Traitors is a new seven-part series. The first two episodes are available now on LiSTNR.
