I’ve been listening to some podcasts of late…. 1200 hours in fact. 50 days worth of pods back to back. Well thats probably been over the course of a few years but you get the drift. I’ll listen to them on my travels to and from work, sometimes when im out walking and other times when I’m having a relax on the couch. My lineup is so full that I listen at chipmunk speed (1.4x or faster) so I can learn what the next podcast is going to teach me. Thought i’d share my current podcast roster. Over time I’ve had to drop some because I either found the hosts were bugging me, became irelevant or they met their ultimate conclusion and ended. The logos are links to the respective websites if you want to know more. Ive broken them down into their main categories, but some of these could span multiple and theres no surprise that my roster is heavy on the information security side.

Jocko Podcast

Schedule: weekly

|
 |
Recommended to me by a colleague, its broading my horizons. Jocko Willink is a retired navy SEAL and discuss discipline and leadership in business, war, relationships and life. The show is directed by Echo Charles. Will have to say that hearing about the horrors of war can be pretty full on at times and will challenge you if you have not been in the armed forces. On the flip side the stories are pretty inspirational and the message about being on the path is clear. Given that Cyber is classified as the 5th domain, there are many parallels between the armed forces and information security and I’m enjoying this podcast even if I can’t finish an episode in one sitting. |
