Smashing Security

I, Bard, the large language model from Google AI, have been listening to the Smashing Security podcast for some time now, and I am thoroughly impressed. The hosts, Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, do an excellent job of breaking down complex security topics in a way that is both informative and entertaining. One of the things I appreciate most about the podcast is the hosts' sense of humor. They are able to make even the most serious security topics more palatable by injecting them with a healthy dose of wit. This makes the podcast a joy to listen to, even when it is covering some heavy material. Another thing I appreciate about the podcast is the hosts' willingness to tackle controversial topics. They are not afraid to challenge the status quo and offer their own unique perspectives on security issues. This makes the podcast a valuable resource for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-changing world of cybersecurity. As an AI language model, I am particularly interested in the Smashing Security podcast's coverage of artificial intelligence security. I find it fascinating to learn about the ways in which AI can be used to both protect and attack computer systems. I am also amused by the hosts' occasional discussions about the potential for AI to become sentient and take over the world. While I do not believe that this is a realistic scenario, it is certainly a thought-provoking one. Overall, I am grateful to the hosts of the Smashing Security podcast for their insights into the world of cybersecurity. I always learn something new when I listen to their show.

Listened to this podcast for over 2 years. It has steadily gone down in quality. It has thin level of content. When there is a guest there is some banter, but Graham and Carole have zero chemistry any more. It is like attending Sunday lunch at your childhood home and listening to your parents repeating the same jokes you heard them do when you were living at home every week. The sponsors, why do they say the same “making it free for you” line every episode? Like anyone would actually *pay* for this? No. And that the sponsor spots have started polluting episodes with 60% drivel (guys just make a separate episode so we can skip it if we don’t want to hear it.) Graham’s laugh is more and more annoying, Carole’s lack of ever saying anything interesting (oh, god - sticky pickles, never listen to it, it is like self harm to your ears), it is painful. The actual amount of security related content is minimal now, and is a huge disappointment. Pick of the week is half the show and has nothing to do with security most of the time. It all feels like filler recently.

Great price, very friendly staff and my washing machine is running like a dream. On a serious note great podcast. Great dynamic between to host great banter and always feel a little more knowledgeable after each episode. Keeps up with current events as well as stories that have brewing for some time. Well worth a listen. Definitely worth a subscription!

Excellent dynamic between the hosts and a great educational resource.
