About this episode
Today, we sit down with Jonna Mendez, the former chief of disguise at the CIA. She was recruited to the agency in 1966, spent 27 years in service, and is on the Board of Directors for the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. She spent her career in the Office of Technical Services of the CIA, which is staffed by engineers, chemists, physicists, makeup artists and counterfeiters. It's the part of the CIA you probably imagine when you think of a James Bond movie.
In this podcast, we chat with her about her favorite CIA gadgets, what her scariest moments in the service were, the time she got to impress George H.W. Bush and what it's like being in the CIA.
