In this episode, we explore the life and career of Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who became one of the most famous whistleblowers in modern history. We trace Snowden’s journey from his early years working in the intelligence community to his controversial decision to leak classified documents in 2013, exposing the extent of government surveillance on U.S. citizens and sparking a global debate on privacy and security.
We’ll delve into the motivations behind his actions, the impact of his leaks on governments and tech companies worldwide, and the legal and personal consequences that followed, leading to his exile in Russia. Alongside his role in reshaping the conversation around privacy, we also explore Snowden’s views on technology, his advocacy for digital rights, and his lasting legacy as both a hero to some and a traitor to others. Whether you see Snowden as a defender of civil liberties or a figure of controversy, this episode provides an in-depth look at the life of the man who challenged the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world. Tune in for a gripping story of secrecy, courage, and the cost of transparency.
