I'm Rebecca LaVoy, and this is You Can't Make This Up.

You Can't Make This Up is the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind your favorite Netflix documentaries and films.

On today's episode, we take a closer look at season two of the Netflix political thriller,

The Diplomat.

You think the British Prime Minister ordered a strike on his own warship, which may or may not be

connected to the bomb that just went off in his own city?

You think he ordered that, too?

I think the call is coming from inside the house.

And three Americans, including my husband, just got blown up inside the house.

Kate Weiler thinks she knows who master-minded a British naval attack and a London car bomb,

the Prime Minister himself.

Unable to trust anyone, the reluctant American ambassador must put aside her frustrations

with her well-connected husband and her attraction to the foreign minister to expose the

conspiracy, avert a war, and maybe even get herself on the presidential ticket.

In this episode, we're turning things over to our friends at The Diplomat,

the official podcast. Host Baroness Aisha Hazarica talks with actors, producers, and foreign

service officers for a deeper look into the show's creation and the real-life inspirations for

season two of The Diplomat. the diplomat.

You think you're going to get a pass now?

Because now I know what it's like to be in the big chair.

Before I was just your ass monkey, but now I'm man enough to see it's the cost of doing business.

Don't ever say those words to me again.
