THE WHISTLEBLOWERS: INSIDE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, hosted by former DHS official turned anonymous whistleblower and “Blowback” author Miles Taylor, will bring you into the room – and into the lives – of the high-ranking officials and frontline public servants who tried to bring order to the chaos of the Trump years, while grappling with the most difficult decision of their lives: whether to openly speak the truth. They knew that doing so meant near-certain retribution, costing them their homes, jobs, marriages, safety ... and changing the course of history.

Interesting and Terrifying
This is a podcast every American should listen too. Each episode is both interesting, with an insider look at our politics, and terrifying in knowing that except for the acts of a few brave people we’d know very little about these events.
I’m hooked and can’t wait for the next season. Please let there be a next season.
Enlightening and hard-hitting
Fantastic show! I follow politics pretty closely and much of this information and these stories were new to me. It sheds a lot of light on the inner workings of the trump White House.
Great podcast
I love this pod. However- your episode about the two twins from USSR .. your pronunciation of Ukrainian names and cities etc are wretched. Other than that everything is good.
