The SRCAC Exchange Podcast

Each year, SRCAC produces a podcast season focused on special topics relevant to CAC and MDT professionals. The most recent series focused on the forensic interviewer growth continuum. In this seven-episode season, we were joined by a variety of experts, including forensic interviewers, CAC supervisors, trainers, Chapter staff, and trailblazers. From exploring the shift in professional development mindsets to discussing the challenges and opportunities facing forensic interviewers, this season continues to provide inspiration to interviewers in the field.
