- The Show Notes Will Save Time
From my standpoint, Security Now is one of the few TWiT shows still worth watching. For the most part, Steve Gibson does a solid job explaining security matters that are typically complex. On the negative side, the show is overly long, Gibson can get too far in the weeds, and the host (Leo Laporte) is extraneous. Thankfully, you can the show notes Gibsons website and it’s essentially a transcription.

Apple Podcasts1FnFoundryUnited States2 months ago - Ad hominem attacks and politics
I have listened to this podcast since episode 1 and have not missed a single one. Steve Gibson is extremely knowledgable and personable, and is a guy I'd love to have a beer with. Unfortunately, the host, Leo Laporte, is prone to inject politics and conduct ad hominem attacks on individuals with whom he disagrees. The show is GREAT when he's on vacation, but can't recommend it otherwise.
