iHeart Presents The New “The Whistleblowers: Inside The Trump Administration” Podcast

The Fox News crowd will demean this podcast with its go-to excuse when it can't refute facts, which is "fake news." Yet, whistleblower Miles Taylor has a compelling story. It's up to the listeners to judge its credibility. 

Not all whistleblowers are heroes. Some harbor conspiratorial theories divorced from reality and believe their act of "whistleblowing" is the much-needed revelation of hidden forces, typically nefarious.

Podcast host Miles Taylor is a bestselling author and the former chief of staff of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Taylor published a bombshell opinion piece in 2018 in the New York Times, and himself became a whistleblower on presidential misconduct during the Trump Administration.

He first wrote anonymously, but later revealed himself as the author after publishing the blistering national #1 bestseller “A Warning” in 2019.

The Trump Administration was in large part defined by the chaos surrounding it – especially internally. The volatile rotation of staff often meant instability and near-daily internal leaks to the press. Does anybody remember the flame out of Anthony Scaramucci? How about the musical chairs of the Chiefs of Staff? Or Trump's first cabinet, where an unusually large number of its members were under investigation for corruption. 

How about the EPA's Scott Pruitt and his nearly half-a-million-dollar soundproof phone booth? Or HUD secretary Ben Carson and his purchase of a $31,000 dining table for his office while his department was implementing massive cost reductions for homeless-vulnerable Americans?

 Now, the new iHeartPodcast The Whistleblowers: Inside The Trump Administration, co-produced with Best Case and Ark Media, will dive headfirst into the chaos to bring listeners the inside story of the people behind some of the most explosive government revelations in American history. 

Host Miles Taylor will reach deep into the heart of power to bring listeners 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. Was it all worth it? 

 

 Miles Taylor’s new book, Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, will be published by Atria/Simon and Schuster on July 18, 2023.
