A Must-Listen for Cybersecurity Enthusiasts
Nick Fillingham and Wendy Zenone bring a fantastic balance to the BlueHat Podcast. Nick’s deep knowledge and Wendy’s relatable style create an engaging and accessible show that resonates with listeners of all backgrounds. I noticed a prior review suggesting that one of the hosts was “out of place,” which felt both harsh and unhelpful. Constructive feedback is great, but I think both hosts add a fresh and valuable perspective that enhances the podcast’s accessibility and dynamic nature. The production quality is top-notch, the topics are insightful, and the interviews are always on point. Whether you’re in the industry or just interested in the evolving tech landscape, this podcast is a goldmine of information. Highly recommend!

One of my top 10
Super informative! As a female in tech it’s super refreshing to hear a fun and light story podcast chalked full of good info. I struggle to find podcasts that are tech related that aren’t boring and this one is just that. So when I’m not talking to a rubber duck hahaha I’m listening to podcasts like this one.

Great pod to learn more about security
I recently moved from an infrastructure cloud company to take a role in a pre-ipo cybersecurity company. The pace in this new position/company is fast and the learning curve is steep. In my search for resources/podcasts to learn more I came across the Blue Hat podcast. I’m a few episodes in and I’m really enjoying the pace, content and engaging discussions. Moderators/hosts Wendy and Nic maintain a good conversational and approachable tone while keeping things interesting.

Informative for all levels
I am newer to the security space and enjoy this show. I attended BlueHat 2 years ago and enjoyed meeting new people and hearing the talks. So I was happy I found this podcast. I enjoyed Arjun’s episode because I want to grow my career so it was really applicable. The hosts are great, they are casual and have good banter.
