Podcasts: Get up to speed on recent internet privacy developments

A laptop surrounded by binary computer code.

Keeping with this week's privacy theme, in today’s post we’re highlighting two episodes of Recode.net and The Verge’s Too Embarrassed to Ask podcast that discuss recent developments in personal internet security.


LISTENER ADVISORY

Our goal when sharing podcasts is to bring you information that is relevant and useful; however, not all podcasts are "clean" or "workplace friendly," and some – like those from Recode Radio – often contain brief moments of explicit language that some listeners may find offensive.

As such, listener discretion is advised and headphone usage is recommended.

The Glen does not endorse any particular podcast or podcast provider, and the views expressed in a particular podcast do not represent the views of The Glen Civic Association.


In part one, podcast co-hosts Kara Swisher of Recode and Lauren Goode of The Verge talk with Tony Romm, Recode’s senior editor for policy and politics, about the FCC’s recent decision on consumer privacy and their plans on net neutrality.

Part two of the series brings Swisher and Goode together with Tony Gambacorta of 1585 Security. During the episode, they geek out on topics like VPNs, password managers, and two-factor authentication.

Just a quick note before we go: The Glen Civic Association does not recommend or endorse any online security programs, tools, or methods. It is strongly recommended that individuals independently and thoroughly research companies and their products and services before purchasing those products or subscribing to those services.
