New episode of Closed Network Privacy Podcast is out. Not sure I’ve ever posted about it. Yikes. It’s an excellent show. Entertaining, informative and home to a great network of peeps. @simon is a fantastic person and a great host. If you’re into privacy/security on a broad basis, give it a listen.
