  • Great Cyber News Source

    This podcast has really helped in my goal of keeping up with the cyber news and the analysis from multiple perspectives is appreciated. It’s not necessary to agree with every opinion the hosts put out and links are available for independent deep dives. Highly recommend.

  • Too political

    Your entitled to your opinions and politics does play a role in what your discussing, but don’t insult your fanbase. I’m not a democrat or a republican, and I don’t come here to listen to you insult my fellow Americans 1 whether I agree with them or not. If you have a professional opinion, give it. THAT is what we want to hear. If you can’t handle bad reviews/comments, maybe you shouldn’t be saying biased things? Back off the political rhetoric and give us the news of risky business. Anything else just adds to the noise that every other podcast puts out.
