I liked the politics

Ban the guns

Was good until he started mixing it with politics

When will hosts of unrelated podcasts learn that mixing them with politics is not a good way to go? The reason many of us listen to your podcasts is so that we can get away from politics. Why is it not clear?

I had to shut his podcast off a few episodes back when he literally dedicated half of an episode to that horrific shooting in NZ. I get it that you guys were emotionally involved by the sobbing of your president lady, but why do you need to mix your emotions and political views with an unrelated security podcast?

So since then I have this aftertaste every time I try to listen to it again.

Additionally, this podcast (even politics aside) is only like 20 minutes long of actual information. The latest security news is very good. But then it is usually a paid promotion or a product placement. Although, I should applaud him for clearly labeling it as such (unlike what "Security Now" or Troy Hunt are doing.)
