Summary
I'm excited to be celebrating my 50th episode of FBI Retired Case File Review this week, along with the success of my crime novel Pay To Play. In this episode I review with my guest, retired agent Bobby Chacan, ten (10) misconceptions about the FBI we often find in books, TV, and movies. Bobby Chacon is a technical advisor for the TV show Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders We have a lively discussion about why some FBI agents might not be reading that bestselling book series or watching that popular show depicting the FBI. If those portrayals are clichés or aren't accurate? Does it really matter?
