Speaker 1 (00:01):
You know Roald Dahl, the writer who thought of Willy Wonka,
Matilda and the BFG. But did you know he was
also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories?
It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret
World of Roald Dahl is a wild journey through the
hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was
literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans? What and

(00:24):
he was really good at it? Okay, I don't think
that's true. I'm telling you. Did you know Dahl got
cozy with the Roosevelts, played poker with Harry Truman, and
had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he
took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt
Disney and Alfred Hitchcock before writing a hit James Bond
film informed by his experience as an mi sex. How

(00:45):
did this secret agent wind up as the most successful
children's author ever And what darkness from his covert past
seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true
story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to
