  • So much potential

    Podcast host needs to do a better job of keeping the conversation on track. Constantly lets “JAGS” go off on 30+ min rants that have nothing to do with the conversation at hand. Every episode has a significant chunk taken up by JAGS spewing pseudo intellectual BS trying to sound super deep and thoughtful. Annoying as hell.

  • Oo

    A bold new take on cybersecurity podcasts: unfiltered, authentic, and refreshingly real.

  • 1X

    The only podcast I listen to at 1x. Thoughtful, insightful, occasionally profane, always erudite.
