I'm often asked where to start with regard to privacy. For the last few months I have been publicly and privately recommending Gabriel Custodiet's book "The Watchman Guide to Privacy: Reclaim Your Digital, Financial, and Lifestyle Freedom."

I recorded this episode of the show to deal with a recent minor controversy from a passing comment I made. Then I decided it was too far out of the scope of what I want discussed on RPF, so I canned it, choosing not to release it. Well, the controversy continued, and after I shared this "deleted episode" with a few listeners privately who found it helpful, I decided to let you choose for yourself, rather than my censoring it. It's all explained in the intro! Joshua
