  • My Gawd!

    I have listened for 15 minutes and heard nothing but a bunch of repeated nothing! My time is too valuable to waste on a bunch of folk massaging each other who are not telling a story!

    This is not podcast material! If you can’t tell a story get out of the business!

    Jerri and her guests are outstanding. In particular when calling out FBI management for their lack of leadership she pulls no punches.

385: Jerri Williams - 10th Anniversary Show and Listener Q and A
Q: Do you think the FBI is still staying true to their mission statement?

385: Jerri Williams - 10th Anniversary Show and Listener Q and A
Q: How do you stay so youthful?
I take hot yoga classes and walk quite a bit. I also use makeup and have been fortunate with good photography.
385: Jerri Williams - 10th Anniversary Show and Listener Q and A
Q: What would you do if you had a superior who didn't agree with something that you felt needed to be looked into?
The FBI provides a certain level of autonomy to case agents, and getting buy-in from the US Attorney's Office is key for an investigation.
385: Jerri Williams - 10th Anniversary Show and Listener Q and A
Q: What inspired you to start a podcast?
I started the podcast to build a platform to find potential readers of my crime novels, but it evolved into something much larger than that.
