Oh, right. Welcome listeners to episode 70 of Know Your Enemy. I'm Matt Sipman, your

podcast co-host and I'm here with my great friend Sam at their bell. Hey Sam.

Hi Matt.

Well, as we were just saying to each other, off air, this is going to be a quick intro

because it's a long episode. But I think really one of our very favorites that we've

recorded.

So fun.

The listeners were to feel the enthusiasm in our voices, I believe. And why don't you tell

them what got us so jazzed up?

Yes.

Our episode on Whitaker Chambers, the famous ex-communist, anti-communist figure, sort of a

saintly figure on the right, the author of the book Witness, and the key figure in the

outer hiss case.

Yes.

You'll learn so much about all of that from listening to this episode that I don't even

really want to give anything away. But this is a long biographical and philosophical engagement

with the life and work of one Whitaker Chambers.

That's right, it's a cloak and dagger story about an ex-communist who became a conservative

hero. And that's all we're going to say. We hope you love it.

We certainly had fun recording it.

We just want to make one or two more quick points, one of which is there is a brief discussion

of suicide in this episode. So a bit of a content warning.
