  • Can’t get past the opening music

    I listen to cybersecurity focused podcasts early in the morning. Decided to give this one a try today. I wish the episode descriptions were in each title but that’s a minor gripe. Then I hit play and was assaulted with their music choice. I listened for about 20 seconds (during which I lowered the volume a lot a lot) and decided to try another episode in the hopes that was a fluke. Nope. Sorry, can’t speak to content. The angry yelling loud music is too much to take.

  • Know what they talk about

    In cybersecurity there are plenty of talkers compared to the very few walkers. These guys have walked the walk. Very knowledgeable with plenty of good discussion on being pragmatic when addressing threats. Also, just enough snark to keep it fun. Glad you guys are back, as nothing else compared!

  • Topical, primarily informative, just enough entertainment

    Security professionals discussing select important and informed topics. The hosts recently cut back on episode frequency, which is a shame but understandable. I appreciate all of the content and the silly jokes+sarcasm.
