Welcome to episode 5 which is part 2 of our Cold War Conversations with Shane Whaley of Spybrary .
We talked for some time ,so I have split this interview into two parts.
I hope you find this second half as interesting as I did – settle in for more wide ranging and hopefully interesting conversation with my good friend Shane Whaley.
