Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands Worldwide's English Service - a list of the new programmes coming up on Radio Netherlands Worldwide this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 28 NOVEMBER
*** The State We're In ***
This week we give thanks for the twentieth anniversary of the end of the Cold War and we look at the one thing that encapsulated that era - spying.
The perfect job: We speak to a KGB general who was at the forefront of the spying game against the US. He tells us how exhilarating it was.
Russian trainspotting: Leslie Woodhead was sent to a 'spying school' to learn Russian as a member of Britain's vast intelligence network. Fifty years later, he took a closer look at his Cold War experience and realised that he played a small but significant role in helping the world avert nuclear self-destruction.
The new truth part 1: What sort of spying takes place now and between whom? The Cold War may be over, but countries are spending as much as ever on intelligence gathering. What form does it take and how has it changed?
The new truth part 2: We continue our discussion about the Cold War and shape of modern espionage.
Shell games: Maura Harrington tells Jonathan how her protests against an oil pipeline in Ireland was worth every moment of it, but the fight is far from over.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
This week we give thanks for the twentieth anniversary of the end of the Cold War and we look at the one thing that encapsulated that era - spying.
The perfect job: We speak to the youngest KGB general of his generation who was at the forefront of the spying game against the US. He tells us how exhilarating it was.
Russian trainspotting: Leslie Woodhead was sent to a 'spying school' to learn Russian as a member of Britain's vast intelligence network. Fifty years later,
Leslie took a closer look at his Cold War experience and realises that he played a small but significant role in helping the world avert nuclear self- destruction.
The new truth part 1: What sort of spying takes place now and between whom? The Cold War may be over but countries are spending as much as ever on intelligence gathering. What form does it take and how has it changed?
