  • Quality has dropped

    Guys I love your podcast. It’s really good when you put time and effort in to telling a well crafted and edited story. But lately the quality has really fallen off. I understand you’re trying other things and having a summer break/are spread thinly at the moment, but please hire an editor. Someone who can give your podcast the polish it deserves. You need both members present (I know Scott is ill at the moment & can’t help being there) as when it’s just Jordan he really needs the support of some... more

This episode had depth, a great guest, and valuable takeaways—exactly what I was looking for.

    Encouraged by that episode, I started ... more

  • you might be a robot if

    i can't remember passwords or solve captcha and i certainly depend on the web to keep my stuff safe. but i would like to understand who is testing that safety and what i as a human can do to fortify myself against it. because maybe sometimes the web needs to be broken so that it can improve. i find im more receptive to hearing stories that make me see the human issues that affect security, and i really enjoy the stories from listeners of light hearted pranks that ended up much more significant. ... more
