Network Security Podcast

Chaos ensues this week when Martin, Rich, and Zach are joined by more of the Securosis gang (Mike Rothman and Adrian Lane). Somewhere between jabs at Martin and chatter about, uh, “pay-for companionship” and “stimulants”, we actually talked about some security stuff. Who’da thunk?

Having escaped* the snowpocalypse/shmoopocalypse/shmowpocalypse that brought D.C. to a halt during ShmooCon 2010, I was able to join Martin and Rich for this week’s recording. I had another fantastic time at this year’s ShmooCon, and so wanted to share some of that with our listeners. Be on the lookout for the recording from the Podcaster’s Meetup, where I represented Network Security Podcast alongside a cast of zany characters from some of our fellow podcasts (and even a videocast).

* – huge sadface for some of our comrades that got stuck in D.C. for an extra day or two
