To be a spy, you have to be willing to lose everything—your marriage, your ethics, and your identity. In this episode, a former CIA officer reveals the devastating personal cost of serving the agency and exposes the lies behind the government’s most controversial programs.

We sit down with John Kiriakou, the CIA whistleblower who went to prison for exposing the truth about the agency’s torture program. He details his recruitment journey from a classroom at GWU to deep cover operations, dismantling the Hollywood myths of espionage. John explains how the CIA strategically infiltrates media and podcasting to shape public perception and shares the harrowing moment he realized his superiors were lying to the President of the United States.

John Kiriakou is a former CIA analyst and case officer, senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and counter-terrorism consultant. He became the first U.S. government official to confirm that waterboarding was used to interrogate al-Qaeda prisoners, a revelation that led to his prosecution and imprisonment, cementing his status as one of America's most prominent whistleblowers.
