FBI Case File Review Podcast Marks 10 Years of Sharing FBI Stories

Podcast host Jerri Williams received the FBI Agents Association G-Man Honors Distinguished Service Award for telling real FBI stories.

RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, January 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Retired FBI agent, author, and podcast host and producer Jerri Williams celebrates the 10th anniversary of FBI Case File Review, the podcast dedicated to examinations of FBI investigations by the actual case agents and staff who worked on the cases. The series launched with its first episode on January 22, 2016, alongside the host’s first blog post that same month, and the publication of her first crime novel later that year. Since then, 385-plus episodes have been posted, and the podcast has grown into a widely respected historical record of the Bureau.

A Personal Beginning
“I originally set out to become a best-selling crime novelist — my first crime novel was published in September 2016 — and the podcast was an afterthought, a way to find readers,” said host and retired FBI agent Jerri Wiilliams. “What began as a marketing tool evolved into a purpose-driven mission to preserve the FBI’s institutional knowledge and protect the public’s positive perception of the Bureau.”

Why the Show Matters
Shortly after the podcast began, the FBI was thrust into intense public debate (notably starting in July 2016) surrounding the 2016 presidential campaign. Witnessing those controversies transformed FBI Case File Review into a mission focused non-partisan podcast with a goal to:

• Contribute to the positive public perception of the FBI
• Preserve institutional knowledge
• Memorialize the personal legacies of guests

Retired agent Williams said, “I let my case reviews, and the facts presented, speak to the dedication, integrity, and personal sacrifices of the FBI agents in the field working hard to keep Americans safe in their communities.” In Episode 385, a special solo show to be released on January 22, 2026, the ten-year anniversary date, she reviews the reasons why and how she’s been producing the show for ten years and answers listeners' questions.

About Jerri Williams
Jerri Williams has always been a storyteller and, after serving 26 years as a special agent in the FBI, she has plenty of stories to tell. During most of her Bureau career, she worked major economic fraud investigations and is amazed at the schemes and deceptions con-artist and corrupt corporate and public officials devise to steal other people’s money. She notes that with a gun, they can steal hundreds. But with a lie, they can steal millions.
She also uses her investigative experience to write FBI crime fiction about greed and corruption.
