I’ve been listening to the Risky Business security podcast for several years now, and mark it as among my favorite security podcasts, if not my favorite one.

It packs hours of social, psychological, and public policy discussions into a few minutes.

I became aware of a good candidate a couple of years ago, and since it retained its qualities (listed below) over time, I figured it is worth mentioning.
This podcast is called: “Security Now” and it is featured by Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte. Leo is a good host. He manages the show and its topics well, all in a healthy, joyful, spirit. Steve is a well-known security expert, and the creator of SpinRite — a disk maintenance and recovery tool.
