Podcasts are a personal thing, some people love them, others hate them. The type is also a personal choice. Over time, I have changed the podcasts I listen to as well.
This is the current podcast list I listen to as well as links for you to find out more info / subscribe.
Malicious Life
Feed link : https://malicious.life/feed/podcast/
Interesting podcast covering the history of viruses, malicious software, ransomware with some great guest presenters. A very clear and concise podcast.
Simon Mayo’s Confessions
Feed link : http://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p02nrvdq.rss
A non-security podcast where people have written into the radio show to ‘confess’ things they have done previously. Some of them are absolutely hilarious and is a great relief in a stressful week to unwind.
Smashin Security
Feed link : https://www.smashingsecurity.com/rss
With or without the trailing G, Graham Cluley has a brilliant podcast formula here. From a brilliant co-host, funny stories and the famous “pick of the week” it really is everything you need from an infosec podcast.
The Human Factor
Feed link : http://hfactor.libsyn.com/rss
This is a different kind of podcast in that it doesn’t talk about tech but focusses on the human side of stuff (also I was on one of the episodes!).
The Infinite Monkey Cage
Feed link : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00snr0w/episodes/downloads.rss
Hilarious scientific podcast based on the BBC Radio 4 comedy show. I love this podcast for some downtime. Generally the panel is Robert Ince, Brian Cox, a couple of scientists and a comedian – what more do you need when you are talking about background radiation of the universe !!
The Social-Engineer Podcast
Feed link : http://socialengineer.libsyn.com/rss
For those with even a glib interest in Social Engineering then treat this podcast as your ‘how-to’ lecture series. For those new to it, start back at episode one and go through them all. Take notes (a lot of them) and learn. This is an amazing series and the guests are just amazing. Dreeke, FBI agents, radio DJs – the list seems endless! The banter between the team is brilliant and for transparency – I am a YES to Hornsby. Fabulous podcast and very on topic.
So there we go, that’s my list … so what’s yours ? Send me a Tweet with your podcast list and let’s compare notes !
