Mother, Neighbor, Russian Spy. In 2010, Richard and Cynthia Murphy were arrested in Monc

Len, New Jersey, along with eight other seemingly normal Americans. In fact, all of them had been

born in Russia and had been given new identities in America where they'd lived for years,

raising families working normal jobs, but always ready to spy for the motherland.

This amazing story, which was the basis for the award-winning television series The Americans,

is presented by Rosamond Pike, and tracks the lives of these two incredible women, Cynthia Murphy,

aka Lydia Guriev, and the young keen FBI agent who was tasked with following her.

This astonishing true story about real-life spies, all of which happened very recently,

is only available on Audible. Mother, Neighbor, Russian Spy is an audible original podcast,

and it's available to listen to now on Audible. Subscription required.

She hasn't got any better upper body strength than me. She shouldn't. She shouldn't get out.

But I was like, eh, it was snowing and she got like, eh, and I was thinking, you know what, I

support women taxi drivers so hard. I love being my taxi driver, but maybe they could bring a bag man.

Who just sits in the just in case, and he should not be paid because of the history of the world

and the patriarchy. He should just be there to lift my bag. Men should have to do it on a voluntary

basis like jury duty. Back men. If I were running Canada, I would bring in jury duty style

back men for female taxi drivers. This is why I should be not elected to your prime minister.
