Customer Reviews
A security podcast!
There are podcasts. Then there are security podcasts.
AND THEN THERE IS SECURITY NATION PODCAST.
ALL FACTS.
I make this podcast and it’s great
Nope, this isn’t an astroturf review, because I’ll come right out and say that I’m one half of the hosts. But which one? Impossible to say. Anyway, I love making this podcast, and if you enjoy it and want me to keep doing it, leave a review and a rating! Otherwise, eventually my employer will get wise that this is too much fun and not growing its audience fast enough, then I’ll have to move on to other probably less fun things. Or, worse, they’ll spend a bunch of money on getting paid ads to attract listeners and then we’ll have to put in product placement or something else that’s not punk rock. So leave ratings and reviews, tell your friends, and I can pretend that I’m not a sellout for just a little longer.
Great Big Picture & Tactical Balance
I love how Jen and Tod balance between security big picture topics around public policy and greater societal and greater good topics to more tactical topics like prioritizing risk in the enterprise. Always an insightful conversation with a perfect sprinkle of natural humor.
