Brad was as surprised as anyone that Canada had a link to the first modern day superspy.  During his discussion with Peter he finds out about the sordid past of this fiery, jockey sized pioneer of espionage.  It included supplementing his paltry income as a spy with a job as a graverobber where he stole the body of not only a father but a son of a U.S. President.

His motivation for being a spy is particularly apt for a Father's Day Show.

Comment from Peter Edwards:

I really enjoyed the interview. It really was nice to speak to someone who had read and thought about the book. I liked the wrap up question about what lessons should be learned from Le Caron's story.

A good interview like that helps me focus my thoughts and makes it easier for me to talk about the book in the future. I'm giving a speech later in the week on Le Caron, and the interview with Brad will help me gather and focus my thoughts for that.

I liked the way each segment seemed to have a topic/theme. I also enjoyed and appreciated the chance to give full answers and not just snappy clips, as this is a pretty complicated story. I also liked the way the interview was tied to Father's Day.

After the interview, I drove my daughter back to university, and I told her how much I enjoyed the interview, and speaking to someone who had actually read the book and thought about it. When the publisher asks how the interview went, all I have is praise.

My only advice would be, Keep up the great work.

Thanks
