Spies on Television & Radio
In the archives below, the author of Spy Television
(Praeger Publishers, 2004) and The Encyclopedia of TV Spies
(BearManor Media, 2009) offers the most in-depth and varied resources
on TV spies available anywhere.
Here are interviews with creators and actors of the past and talks
with producers who have plans for the future.
Here are interviews with authors of TV spy books, comics, and
collector’s guides. And here are directories and bibliographies
of what was broadcast, what was written about classic series, and the
paperback adventures based on every spy show from The Man
from U.N.C.L.E. to 24.
