Great podcast

Very informative!

HyperrJedi ,

Informative and taught me a lot that I didn’t know!

I really don’t remember how I found techlore and the new oil, but I do not regret it. I loved when I found out that they had a podcast and have listened to every episode. Overall very informative sometimes funny, and I enjoy every episode! Thank you to Techlore and the new oil for this podcast and their goal to make privacy accessible to everyone!
