Hey there I Spy listeners. Here at Foreign Policy, we're about to release season 2 of our podcast, The Negotiators. On each episode, one former diplomat or troubleshooter tells the story of one dramatic negotiation. If the tagline sounds familiar, that's by design. We think of The Negotiators as the sister show of I Spy.

We're releasing the first episode of the season here in this feed. It's part one of a dramatic story about Danny Fenster, an American journalist sentenced in 2021 to 11 years in prison in Myanmar. Mickey Bergman, a negotiator with the Richardson Center for Global Engagement, describes the grueling process of gaining Fenster's release. Like the episodes of I Spy, this one is non-narrated. You'll hear our host, Jenn Williams, introduce the story, followed by nothing but Bergman.

To hear part two of the story, find The Negotiators in your favorite podcast app. The show is a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy.

We're also working on more episodes of I Spy, so keep watching this space.
