Bruce Schneier Audios

This is not really “a” podcast, but a collection of all the podcasts and shows Bruce Schneier, one of the world’s best cryptographers and a thought leader in the security industry, gets invited to. Schneier masters the art of describing the problems that come out of the intersection between technology, people and security. You may also want to check his blog, and his Crypto-Gram newsletter.

Off the Hook

This show has been airing since 1998, and it's produced by the folks at the legendary 2600 The Hacker Quarterly magazine. It’s the real deal of the underg old school hacking scene. It’s actually a good old radio show that airs every Wednesday night at 7:00 PM EST in New Y ork City on 99.5 FM, but you can also subscribe online here or access the entire archive of shows here.

Cyber Insecurity

Last but not least, here's something quite different to the other podcasts above. Cyber Insecurity is not really a podcast, but a Twitch stream run by Neil Bridges that covers a very wide range of topics, technical and non-technical (pentesting, attacks, trends, industry certifications, mentorship, job interviews) in many different formats (interviews, deep dives, AMAs) Totally worth listening/watching if you are looking for a different format.
