Defense Intelligence Agency Brings Compelling Podcast to the American People

he Defense Intelligence Agency has begun airing its "DIA Connections" podcast to share interesting, informative and sometimes overlooked content across multiple social media platforms.

"DIA Connections' is a podcast featuring the sometimes overlooked and unfamiliar stories of who we are, what we do and the countless ways DIA has impacted the lives of people globally," Army Maj. Angel K. Jackson, DIA's multimedia branch chief, said.

The three episodes produced so far are:

Episode 1: "Fentanyl"

Synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, are now the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths in the United States. This episode examines DIA's role in tracking the shadowy production and distribution networks of this lethal drug.

Episode 2: "Dale Dye"

Former Marine, actor and Hollywood technical advisor Dale Dye discusses how, after surviving 30 combat operations during the Vietnam War, he became a catalyst in changing the way Hollywood makes war movies, influencing directors Oliver Stone and Steven Spielberg.

Episode 3: "Rob Riggle"

Comedian and actor Rob Riggle sits down with Army Lt. Gen. Robert P. Ashley, Jr. DIA director, to discuss his affinity for the military and his two-decade-long entertainment career.
