About this podcast

I’m Kevin Barrows, former FBI Special Agent and lead case agent on two of the largest white-collar investigations in U.S. history. I’ve been in the room where the lies were built, where the evidence was uncovered, and where the truth finally broke through. I also co-hosted the Smithsonian Channel docuseries Sports Detectives , exposing forgery and tracking down missing pieces of sports history. In Follow the Lies , I take you inside real fraud cases across the Deception Spectrum—from massive corporate fraud and organized scams to sports forgery, identity theft, and personal betrayals. You’ll hear the insider stories, the investigative breakthroughs, and my Lie Detector Tips: practical, field-tested ways to spot deception in business, relationships, or everyday life. Because the lies are everywhere. And once you know how to follow them, you’re never caught off guard again. New episodes drop bi-weekly. Have a fraud story of your own? Email kevin@followtheliespodcast.com — it could become the next episode. Subscribe now. Let’s uncover the truth together. #TrueCrime #Fraud #WhiteCollarCrime #Ponzi #IdentityTheft #SportsForgery #LieDetectorTips #FollowTheLies
