044 - Your BFF, Vlad

This week, it seems as though Russia has been deprioritized by the US Gov as a cyber threat. So I aimed to ask the question, are they really that bad in the first place? Spoiler alert: The answer is yes.

041 - Alex Asks John Anything [Bonus Episode 2/2]

This is the second of two experimental bonus episodes I really wanted to do. Today I invited my non-technical friend, Alex, over to ask me whatever is on her mind. Most of the time it's tech related, sometimes it's about the Loch Ness monster. So today, before I go on a little vacation, I wanted to share one of those discussions with you.

040 - Inside the Shell [Bonus Episode 1/2]

This is a bonus episode for the new year at the request of a few listeners. There isn't a major hack here, this is about two things. 1. My process for making episodes 2.
