  • Normally the podcast is good , very interesting and helpful, this time I have to say it was mostly bulls... Alcohol in no amount what so ever is healthy for the body. And usage instructions in the US are written by layers and do not indicate health risks, it indicates the stupid reasons people Sue companies. These topics are aljust examples which were at least misleading.l

  • Excellent coverage in security awareness and social engineering

    Latest interview with Ganesh Krishnan was excellent. His suggestions on building a positive security awareness were most applicable if you're tryng to create a sustainable program. His book recommendation of "Think Like a Rocket Scientist" was very interesting.

  • Huge Fan of SE

    Love what you guys do and stand for. I’ve been a fan since 2019 and episode 210 was amazing. It inspired me to write a review, buy the book sapiens, and download the app. My close friends and family tell me I have a way with people and I’ve never encountered before they talk about your podcast all the time and I believe that I would make a great SE. I’m coming to the end of a 20 year USCG career. How would one be able to get involved in this field?

    Thank You please keep up the hard work
