Customer Reviews
Steve Please Ditch Leo Go Solo
The best security podcast on the planet totally ruined by Leo’s leftist agenda. When he’s not eating he’s butting in. Steve setup your own podcast and go solo with donations.
Good content, but too long
There’s a lot of good content in this podcast, but it’s FAR TOO LONG. Even listening to this podcast at 2x speed (I listen to most podcasts at 1.5x) makes me wish Apple had an even faster mode.
Please stop reading press releases and new laws in detail.
Steve’s occasional rants are frustrating as they go on forever and often show a lack understanding of the reasons behind whatever he it is disagrees with.
I understand the need for ads, but they go for so long that I usually skip them. On other podcasts where the ads are 30-60 seconds it’s not worth the effort to skip them, but on Security Now there are several 5 minute ad breaks. It’s over the top. Especially if you’ve already heard a previous ad for that product.
I don’t mind the off topic discussions of sci-fi, tv, etc. I’ve quite liked a few of the suggestions.
(We also probably don’t need any more pictures of the week of ineffective gates.)
Excellent show but too long
Anyone who writes quality code in assembler is worthy of respect. And so too is Mr Gibson. I have learned a lot through this podcast from this guy. The part I don’t like is when he spends a lot of time reading excepts (especially the USA centric legislature). It’s quite boring and I find myself wishing I didn’t have to waste my valuable time listening to this. I like it when Steve explains things in his own words I don’t need someone reading other people’s work to me. Thanks Steve for your excellent work. I would appreciate shorter and more concise podcast episodes ... if possible please.
