Analyst Talk - Callie Rhoads - The Public Corruption Analyst
Episode 298
Monday, 22 December, 2025

Episode: 00298 Released on December 22, 2025 Description: In this episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, Jason is joined by Callie Rhoads, a former Florida Department of Law Enforcement analyst with more than 15 years of experience analyzing public corruption and high profile investigations. Callie shares her unconventional path into the law enforcement analysis profession, her work uncovering financial misconduct, and what it was like supporting investigations involving powerful political figures. She walks listeners through major cases including the Broward County Sheriff investigation, the Mark Foley inquiry, the Jim Greer corruption case, and the long running Dozier School for Boys review. This conversation highlights the analyst’s role as a fact finder, the importance of following the money, and the challenges of working cases that attract intense public and media attention. It also offers a rare look at how analysts contribute far beyond the desk, supporting interviews, search warrants, and complex historical investigations. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking!
