Any episodes similar to John kiriakou?
Yeah, for sure. If you liked the John Kiriakou one, I’d look for episodes with that same intelligence/whistleblower/national security vibe. Closest matches:
-
Mike Baker episodes — former CIA, a lot of intel/tradecraft talk. Different angle, more establishment than whistleblower.
-
Edward Snowden — big surveillance/state power conversation. Probably the most obvious one if you want the government secrecy angle.
-
Julian Assange — leaks, transparency, national security, all that messy territory.
-
Michael Malice episodes that get into CIA/regime-change stuff — less firsthand intel, more political/historical.
-
Tulsi Gabbard episodes — foreign policy, intelligence community criticism, war machine conversations.
-
Abby Martin — anti-war, state secrecy, intervention stuff.
-
Tim Dillon episodes when they drift into intelligence and corruption — less formal, but same “what the hell is really going on?” energy. If you want the closest match in spirit, I’d say:
-
Edward Snowden
-
Julian Assange
-
Mike Baker
-
Tulsi Gabbard Also, the Kiriakou episode itself has a lot of prison/prosecution/whistleblower pressure in it, so anything with a whistleblower guest is gonna feel the most similar. If you want, I can give you a tighter list of specific JRE episode numbers that are closest.
