I’ve been listening to Security Now for over 10 year now. Steve Gibson is highly intelligent and does an excellent job of explaining technical topics like how a new exploit actually works and how the mitigation functions, without making the listener feel like they need a PHD first.
Both Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson occasionally have opinions I don’t agree with, and they’ve had sponsors in the past that turned out later to have their own issues. But they’ve been quick to remove sponsors that are actively bad, and they’re honest about their relationships with their sponsors anyway.
It’s also refreshing to hear a more pragmatic (realistic) approach to balancing security with usability. Ie: your grandma doesn’t work for the NSA, so she doesn’t need a custom-built secure desktop with YubiKey running Qubes. She needs a password vault or notebook and you to occasionally update her machine.
