  • Skip this Buddies

    Nothing but regurgitation of readily available information from the web. No new or original content. He also likes to spout out his political views rather than stay on focus with the security topic. Avoid this podcast like the plague.

  • Must Have Info

    Have been using MacScan for a couple decades. Listening to this podcast is fascinating. SO many useful tidbits for everyday life and security. In addition, the narrator has a droll sense of humor and a great voice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you care at all about security.

  • Great podcast runs slow, music volume no control

    This is an informative podcast, very slow paced but what it bothers me is whenever topic changes , no control of volume, that bothers me a lot.
