Welcome to episode 356 of FBI Retired Case Fall Review with Jerry Williams. I'm a retired

agent on a mission to show you who the FBI is and what the FBI does through my books, my blog,

and my podcast case reviews with former

colleagues. But wait, today is a special episode. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with

executive producer and showrunner Latoya Morgan and lead actress Rachel Hilsen about Duster, the new TV series from J.J. Abrams and

Latoya Morgan now streaming on HBO Max. Set in Phoenix in the 1970s, the show follows the first

black female FBI agent as she takes on a crime syndicate by

teaming up with a gutsy getaway driver. I'm an FBI consultant on the show and after my conversations

with Latoya and Rachel, I'll talk briefly about the significance of accurate portrayals of the FBI and books,

TV, and movies, a major theme of my mission. I absolutely enjoyed my conversations with Latoya

Morgan and Rachel Hilsen, and I hope you do too. I want to give a shout out to Rachel's mother,

Anita. She and I also share some kismic connections. You'll know what I mean after you listen to

the interviews. The first season of Duster, eight episodes, is streaming now on HBO Max.

Naturally, I'm hoping Duster will be renewed for multiple seasons.

Before we get to my conversations with Latoya and Rachel, I want to thank Dave Thompson

for having me on his podcast, Truth Be Told, to discuss communications and interview skills in investigations and media relations and in

podcast interviews. Thanks, Dave. Check out the Truth Be Told podcast wherever you listen to audio.
