Love this pod!
You all had me dying with the Valentine’s Day episode. This show is a very entertaining way to present modern phishing practices (and chicken raising techniques!) The best part is that you all sound like you’re enjoying yourselves and each other, so please keep it up!

Excellent podcast, but………
This is a great podcast. I would highly recommend this for someone beginning their cybersecurity learning or those that want to keep up to date. The only issue is the political left leaning is annoying. I listen to educate myself and learn what is going on in the world pertaining to cybersecurity. Not to listen to political left leaning talking points or snide remarks. This distracts from the great content that they produce. One of my college professors in my government class always had the best classes. He never took sides, never told us where he stood. And the class was enjoyable because he just taught the subject matter and the focus was on learning, not pushing a political agenda or letting people know where he stood. This did not alienate anyone, and kept the focus on discussing relevant topics and learning. I think more respect and integrity comes from refraining from political remarks, and just focusing on what makes the podcast great the material and subject matter.
