  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Kiriakou: CIA Whistleblower Exposed Torture Program and Paid the Price
Q: What was the turning point that made you decide to go public?
A combination of moral concern and a realization that allowing the program to continue would make the US complicit in illegal activity; I chose to speak out despite the personal cost.
John Kiriakou: CIA Whistleblower Exposed Torture Program and Paid the Price
Q: Can you walk us through what you blew the whistle on and why?
I blew the whistle on the CIA's torture program, insisting that it was official US policy and that the practice had been approved at the highest levels, which sparked national and legal reckoning.
Leading US Whistleblower Attorney Advocates for Stronger International Whistleblower Laws
Q: What kinds of crimes can be reported under these transnational laws?
Crimes include bribery of foreign officials, money laundering, commodities manipulation, and related offenses—laws are broad and designed to hold large non-U.S. companies accountable and award whistleblowers substantial damages.
Leading US Whistleblower Attorney Advocates for Stronger International Whistleblower Laws
Q: Does this come through the United States, or can whistleblowers file with their own governments?
Currently, the United States has adopted the applicable international laws, but they are international in impact and can be used by anyone in the world; other countries are encouraged to adopt similar laws.
Leading US Whistleblower Attorney Advocates for Stronger International Whistleblower Laws
Q: But tell me, who can be a whistleblower?
A whistleblower can be the traditional insider, but also a journalist or NGO worker who assembles information showing money laundering or bribery, and citizenship is not a barrier—the laws are transnational and apply broadly.
