CI Press, Episode 118: Universities as Battlegrounds, Unmasking Foreign Influence in Research with Mike Shannon

Join hosts Joe Sheridan and Jeremy Clark for an in-depth conversation with former intelligence and National Institute of Health (NIH) official Mike Shannon as they examine the growing challenges facing America’s research enterprise. Drawing on decades of experience in national security and federal oversight, Shannon explains how foreign influence operations, overseas talent recruitment programs, undisclosed financial relationships, and underreported gifts to universities can create vulnerabilities within U.S. research institutions and federally funded science programs. The discussion explores the intersection of academic openness and national security, including how adversarial governments seek access to cutting-edge biomedical and technological research through partnerships, grants, and talent initiatives. Shannon shares insights from his time investigating research security concerns tied to the NIH and discusses the difficulties universities, scientists, and government agencies face when balancing international collaboration with the need to protect sensitive research and taxpayer-funded innovation. Shannon also discusses the broader implications for public trust in science, federal grant oversight, and institutional accountability. The episode covers real-world examples of compliance failures, the cultural tensions between academia and security professionals, and the evolving role of intelligence and law enforcement agencies in safeguarding American research. Finally, Shannon outlines practical steps universities, policymakers, and researchers can take to strengthen transparency, rebuild trust, and better defend U.S. national and economic interests without undermining scientific progress and global collaboration.

CI Press, Episode 115: Katherina Gonzales - Inside the Spy Catcher’s World: From FBI to CIA to NSA

On this episode of CI Press, hosts Jeremy Clark and Joseph Sheridan sit down with retired counterintelligence officer Kathy Gonzalez to break down the 2026 threat landscape - insider threat trends, evolving adversary tactics, and the enduring challenge of Russian “illegals.” Drawing on more than two decades with the FBI, NSA, and CIA, Kathy brings a practitioner’s perspective to the human side of cyber operations - where trust, access, and behavior matter more than tools alone. She makes the case for standardized counterintelligence training, stronger interagency coordination, and a more unified approach to protecting emerging technologies and U.S. national interests.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
