Julian Dorey is an American YouTuber and podcaster whose interview programme, Trendifier, better known under his own name, has gained prominence in recent years. The show is built around long-form conversations and regularly features guests with backgrounds in security and intelligence, as well as figures known for controversial analyses that often echo in the mainstream media.
The latest episode featured John Kiriakou, a former counter-terrorism officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. The interview was recorded on Friday and released on Sunday, 22 February. Kiriakou, who served a prison sentence after exposing the CIA’s use of waterboarding and for revealing the identity of an undercover operative, has since become a vocal critic of what he describes as Washington’s interventionist foreign policy.
