  • Voice…?

    With ALL respect, her voice is so very odd; interesting stuff, though, but I’m not sure I can stick with it; Candice DeLong’s voice is super odd, too…but I got used to this and hope to get used to this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

410: Wayne Barnes – The Hunt for a Russian Mole in the FBI
Q: What was the outcome of the overt pitch attempts?
The overt pitches failed; the operation relied on the covert approach and the strategic use of a Hollywood connection to engage Ivan, culminating in a critical but inconclusive moment where the mole was not identified by Ivan at that time.
410: Wayne Barnes – The Hunt for a Russian Mole in the FBI
Q: Why was a female undercover agent ultimately used to pitch Ivan?
Historical assumptions had suggested men were more effective at recruiting in these contexts, but the guest explains that Ivan responded more to a female contact who could influence him through social and psychological dynamics.
410: Wayne Barnes – The Hunt for a Russian Mole in the FBI
Q: How long did the team have to complete the operation at the festival?
Eight days, a drastically shorter timeframe than the usual four-year Russian assignments, which highlighted the extraordinary pressure and improvisation required.
407: Barry Colvert – John Walker Spy Ring Case, Early Days of FBI Polygraphs
Q: What was the hardest part of interviewing Art Walker, given his intelligence background?
Art Walker was highly resistant and skilled at deflection; the examiner had to counter his attempts to redirect the conversation, use a carefully staged line of questioning about espionage, and lean on Barbara's information to press for truth over obfuscation.
407: Barry Colvert – John Walker Spy Ring Case, Early Days of FBI Polygraphs
Q: How did Barbara Walker's information shape the subsequent polygraph strategy?
Her early, detailed account provided the crucial lead and a concrete 'used clue' that helped focus and time the later examinations of Art and John, making it possible to structure the interview flow and interrogation strategy around a real, identifiable thread.
