  • Great Podcast

    I really was impressed by the quality of the Boeing whistleblower interview. Great source of high quality info that’s just in the weeds enough to give more nuance while still being accessible enough to understand for people who aren’t experts on the topic.

  • One star for featuring known liar & grifter Rebekah Jones

    Why is this podcast highlighting Rebekah Jones? First, she's no longer a whistleblower. The Florida IG found all of her claims to be false or unproven. Second, she's a convicted criminal who recently pled no contest to stalking and previously entered a DPA for illegal access of a computer system. Third, she is a documented liar and grifter.

  • Jane Turner is an inspiringwhistleblower hero!

    Jane Turner has "run the gauntlet" of being a concerned federal agency employee. Her guests are among the most prosocial people on earth - they chose the road of honor - of extraordinary altruism and courage - in non-violently confronting the institutional evil they witness related to their occuptations. Anyone who aspires to "the better world our hearts know is possible" should listen to their stories from the front lines of defending and advancing trustworthy institutions.
