Espionage isn’t in the shadows anymore — it’s everywhere, and we’re often part of it without even knowing. Shane Hewitt is joined by former CSIS Asia Pacific chief Michel Juneau-Katsuya to unpack a world where spies operate in plain sight, AI manipulates thought, and “cognitive warfare” becomes a recognized tool of state control.

From Jimmy Lai’s conviction in Hong Kong to Canada’s stalled foreign registry, this episode lays out the five major threats of modern espionage — from corporate sabotage to insider betrayal — and how social media, fake news, and emotional manipulation are weaponized against us. It’s not paranoia. It’s policy.
