Best FBI Podcasts by FBI Podcasters (2025)

FBI Retired Case File Review provides a platform for me to showcase FBI stories about successes and sacrifices and continue to serve the FBI.

I’m proud to host one of several active podcasts hosted by retired agents and the FBI that promote the FBI and our law enforcement partners.

Our shows contribute to the positive public perception of the FBI and preserve institutional knowledge.

As retired and former agents, I believe it’s our responsibility to remind the public about the amazing work the FBI does each and every day.

    Jeri Williams is both a friend and former colleague who has done nothing more than espouse about all the good the men and women have done for the American people that mostly goes unseen. Serving as a special agent in the FBI has always been demanding, but in today’s world, it comes with even greater challenges. The role requires navigating an increasingly complex landscape of cyber threats, domestic terrorism, organized crime, and foreign intelligence operations, all while facing heightened public scrutiny and political tensions.

    The FBI has been at the center of political debates, with some seeing it as a defender of democracy and others accusing it of bias. What most American’s don’t see is that the agents have remained neutral and focus on enforcing the law, not politics, but the public perception of their work can still be polarizing.

    People don’t realize that this job requires long hours, irregular shifts, and frequent travel. When agents are working undercover or handling violent crime cases, they can be psychologically taxing. Many agents experience burnout due to the intense pressure and secrecy required in their roles.

    FBI agents rely on each other in high-stress situations, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie. However, the bureaucracy and leadership shifts within the agency can sometimes lead to internal frustrations. Despite these challenges, many agents remain committed to their mission because; they believe in upholding justice and protecting our country

    So, the next time you run into one of these FBI agents thank them for what they do and for protecting you.
