    “America’s Gatekeeper”: A Conversation with DCSA’s Director David Cattler
    Jul 8 2025
    Born out of a major Chinese cyberattack that stole personal information from millions of federal government employees, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency calls itself ‘America’s Gatekeeper.’ Now five years into its existence, it’s responsible for overseeing most of the security clearances for government personnel and contractors. DCSA’s director David Cattler, formerly NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Intelligence and Security, assesses the current threats.

    When a Russian spy was arrested in Brazil in 2022, authorities were shocked to discover that he seemed to have a real birth certificate and authentic citizenship documents.

New York Times journalist Jane Bradley, who investigated the spy network, joined us to discuss the case as Brazilian law enforcement continues to piece together answers today.

  • Breaking the Silence: Coming Out in the CIA

    Breaking the Silence: Coming Out in the CIA
    Jun 24 2025
    Emerging alongside Joseph McCarthy’s Red Scare in the 1950s was the Lavender Scare: Widespread panic and paranoia over the inclusion of gay personnel in the federal government. Their perceived dangers led to the terminations and forced resignations of thousands. Fast forward to 1988 – Tracey Ballard, who worked at the CIA, headed in to take a polygraph exam. Not sure what would happen next, she did something no one else ever had – She told her polygrapher, ‘I’m a lesbian.’ Trace became the first openly gay CIA employee, and spent the next decade of her career fighting for inclusion, acceptance, and kindness within the agency. Her story highlights the critical importance of diversity, and the beauty in recognizing the things that make us different as well as the shared values that bring us all together. From all of us at the International Spy Museum, we are proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community this Pride month and beyond.

Looking for a podcast that will entertain you while making you think and learn?

Spycast and Dr. Andrew Hammond really deliver. They have interesting guests...smart, engaging, and experienced.

Dr. Hammond is a thoughtful interviewer. It's clear he keeps the listener in mind while crafting his questions. There are so many times a question will pop into my head while listening and he'll ask the guest that question just as it forms in my mind.

They pull back the curtains and give us a look at the humans behind the headlines.

Do yourself a favor and give it a listen...

and keep all your devices up-to-date!

Comforting and terrifying at the same time! 😀
