Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 47 ratings
  • Great news summaries and very funny

    Doug’s humor is really the main reason I stay and listen. His spin on the latest cyber news always makes me laugh.

    I could listen all day to his side tangents too. His deviations are often the best part 🤣

  • Reasonably okay infosec podcast

    I don’t, not enjoy this podcast. Reasonably okay content. I recommend this podcast if you can get past some weird humor. Maybe they are using chatGPT to write their comedy banter because it sometimes doesn’t make sense.

  • Entertaining InfoSec news

    Now with 50% more sarcasm and 99% more obscure older pop culture references. That’s 1000% of your RDA for free, what a deal.

  • Brief But Not Shallow

    This show is a great summary of stories with enough info to make it interesting but it’s still short enough I can listen to it in one commute and know if I need to dig further into a particular story.
