Coming up on this week\u2019s episode, I will be looking at the Acoustic Kitty Project. During the 1960s, when the Cold War was running red hot, the US Central Intelligence Agency decided to up their spy game against the Soviets by \u2026. you guessed it\u2026.. deploying cats as intelligence gatherers.

Not unexpectedly, for anyone who knows cats, Acoustic Kitty failed spectacularly, but there are lessons in its incarnation, incubation and deployment that we can leverage, from a risk perspective, in 2019.
