Customer Reviews
Approachable but informative
Love Sean’s style of hosting and credibility of his guests, but most importantly I learn something new every episode
Data Residency episode audio is terrible
Why is the guest talking in an echo chamber over a remote connection? This is a five star podcast content wise but a miserable listening experience. You can do better!
Really informative, enjoyable listen
There’s not really another podcast digging into data privacy like this one is. Really a must-listen for any privacy professionals out there (or any devs / founders trying to figure it out!)
