  • Helpful information for anyone

    I love the perspectives offered and the way privacy information is presented, especially in the episodes about surveillance capitalism. It’s always something I’m peripherally aware of, but I don’t always take care to remember that if I’m not paying for it, I am the product. Great content!

  • Refreshing approach to privacy

    I love the idea of being more cautious about sharing my personal information. But I feel overwhelmed when it comes to where to start to live more privately. In fact, I’m not even that confident I fully understand my risk exposure. Sarah and Rich make the topic so straightforward and interesting to listen to. They’re not extreme. They just want to help the average person stay private.
