The Spy Historian

By Dr Claire Hubbard-Hall

Forget James Bond; the real spies were far more interesting.

I'm really enjoying this Substack by a historian dedicated to espionage. Claire is showing that cold war spy history is still fascinating and relevant.

Totalcrime Substack

By Chris Summers

I cover crime (as in true crime), cover court cases, the underworld and bring to bear 30 years of experience, which can sometimes be very helpful.

Totalcrime has a refreshing way of looking in detail at court cases and other true crime stories, including Suzy Lamplugh and many more. Strongly recommended.
