Podcasts are a time saver and great way to learn
/
Keeping up with infosec current events, news, vulnerabilities, etc. can be very challenging. If you are like me, you have a long list of various threat feeds, security blogs, etc. bookmarked, but never seem to have time to read any of them. Either we don't have time while at work due to our teams being understaffed and overworked or we can't find time after work due to life happening. For me, everything changed when I stumbled on to my first security podcast.
I think podcasts can be the best way to keep up-to-date on security, compliance and privacy news as well as a great way to learn things. What makes podcasts so awesome is the flexibility to listen to them while doing tasks you do all the time where reading isn’t an option such as commuting to/from work, working out at the gym, cooking, etc. If you haven't listened to podcasts before, I strongly recommend giving it a try. Regardless of the topic, podcasts are such a great way to learn new things and constructively pass the time. Be warned though, they can become addicting. At least it’s a good addiction.
With that being said, here are a few podcasts I've stumbled on to. I will try to update this list as I come across new podcasts or if I notice any that go dormant (no longer actively producing content). They are listed in alphabetical order rather than my preference, because my preferences may change and what I like may be different from what you like. Would say give them all a try to figure out which one keeps your interest due to the host(s), the topics discussed and/or which one fits your skill level. Most of these should be available on your favorite podcast app, but I included links to the websites in case you wanted to watch them through a web browser or you are unable to find them in your app of choice. Keep in mind you may need to perform an internet search if the link is ever changed by the podcast provider. Also of note, I haven't personally listened to all of these. I'm still trying to find time to put into some of them into my normal listening rotation.
