Customer Reviews
Bite sized and delicious
Im not a very tech person but I’m very prone to diving into real crime rabbit holes. Cybercrime has been a difficult hole for me to dive into, but Chloe’s explanations make me crave more bite sized cybercrime tidbits.
Cyber crime for dummies (like me!)
First off, I don’t know anything about computers so I assumed this podcast wasn’t for me. But Chloe explains everything so well that even I know what is going on! Everything is well researched and relevant, and I can’t wait to hear more episodes!
