Best Security Podcast around

This is by far the best security podcast I have found. Been listening since college when I began my security career. I have learned a lot from this show and also been able to give real insight on things that I otherwise probably would not have known. Thanks for the great work!

Might need to stand on your tippy toes. It's mighty deep. Or stand on Steve's shoulders.
