Locozoko ,

Always a good week with PEBCAK

Great podcast with the perfect touch of humor, the guys have great questions and discussions around various security topics, and is simply an informative weekly listen. They actually got back into podcasts after a few years of not listening to them anymore!

KerfKris ,

Woodworking IT Pro

Great job covering different security topics. Very entertaining, and love the dad joke. But, hey, what do I know… I also listen to woodworking podcasts!

brianinc ,

Hotter than Ryan Gosling

This podcast is like a Neil Diamon CD, you wish people didnt know about it and its kinda embarassing but it just might save your life.
