The Troubles Podcast - A podcast by Oisin Feeney
This weeks episode of the Troubles Podcast is about Stakeknife, who was one of the most damaging agents in the history of the Troubles. He was in charge of the nutting squad, which was a squad designed to seek out and execute informers. But little did many know, that he was the biggest, and most treasured informer of the British Army. And when his cover was finally blown, what happened to him was a far cry from what many expected.
