Alex6464 ,

The last TWIT podcast I enjoy.

I used to listen to/ subscribe to 5-6 TWIT shows. I’m down to two, and MBW is on the chopping block.

But Security Now remains stellar. Steve Gibson is a treasure.

FellowGEEK ,

Glad this show exists

Security Now has been informative and fun throughout the years.

I love the Leo & Steve duo.

Keep up the good work.

Dennis_Linux ,

Love Leo, love his politics even more!
