Sasha Ingber is the host of the International Spy Museum’s podcast, SpyCast. It’s the country’s first podcast on spying, and Sasha is the first journalist to be its host. She is also the founder of HUMINT, where she tells human stories that intersect with the intelligence and national security community.

Sasha was previously the national security correspondent for national TV network Scripps News, covering the wars in Ukraine and Israel/Gaza, the fall of Afghanistan, the Jan. 6 riot, and many other major events of our time. Her reporting shed light on events and places often shrouded in secrecy, from taking viewers inside a Chinese police station hidden above a ramen shop in New York to a covert unit inside Russia’s domestic security service which targets Americans abroad. Her reporting was featured on CNN, PBS NewsHour, MSNBC, and The History Channel.

She was also a reporter at NPR, National Geographic, and Smithsonian. A Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting grantee, she has reported from such places as Ukraine, Iraq, Cuba, and Qatar. She has contributed to such publications as The Washington Post and The Atlantic. She holds a Master’s degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University. Before starting a career in journalism, she worked at the U.S. State Department, countering Russian disinformation after Russia illegally seized Crimea.
