About CyberSecPods

Why this exists

I love cybersecurity podcasts. They're how I keep up with a field that moves faster than any blog or newsletter can. So I wanted a good way to find them.

There isn't one. The Apple Podcasts and Spotify apps are fine for shows you already know, but the browse experience is awkward, the categories are too broad, and finding new shows feels like luck. The “best cybersecurity podcasts” listicles you find on Google are mostly years out of date, still recommending shows that quietly stopped publishing in 2021.

I wanted one place that answered: which cybersecurity podcasts are still going, what are they about, and when did they last publish. So I built it.

What makes this different

  • Always fresh

    Every podcast's RSS feed is re-fetched every hour. Apple ratings refresh daily. If a show goes quiet for 60 days it's flagged as inactive, but its episodes stay searchable.

  • Built for browsing

    Filter by topic, search across every episode title, and click straight through to Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or the show's own RSS feed. ⌘K opens search from anywhere.

  • Open and community-shaped

    The directory lives in a public GitHub repo. Anyone can add a show or suggest edits. The in-browser form does most of the work, and a bot validates the submission and opens the PR for you.

  • No tracking, no accounts

    The site is fully static. No cookies, no analytics on you, no login. Audio and video stream directly from each podcast's host. We never proxy or store media.

Know a great show? Add it.

This site only works if the people who listen help shape it. If your favourite show is missing, the in-browser form takes about 30 seconds. All you need is the Apple Podcasts ID. Everything else is auto-filled from the RSS feed.

About the maker

I'm Merill Fernando. I work in identity and cloud security, and I host my own podcast, Entra.Chat, a show about Microsoft Entra and modern identity.

Running my own podcast made me want a better way for cybersecurity shows to be discovered. Not just mine, but everyone's. CyberSecPods is that place: somewhere good shows are easy to find, great new ones don't get lost, and the community can keep the list current.

Under the hood

CyberSecPods is a static site. The directory is a set of small JSON files in the GitHub repo, one per podcast, each pointing to an Apple Podcasts ID. A scheduled job pulls each show's RSS feed every hour to refresh episode metadata, and a daily job pulls the latest Apple ratings. Cloudflare Pages rebuilds and redeploys on every change.

When you submit a podcast, the form turns your input into the same JSON that lives in the repo and pre-fills a GitHub Issue. A bot validates it, opens a pull request, and links the PR back on the issue. Once it's merged the show appears here within an hour.
