    Excellent Source of Information
    The authors interviewed are not just from the echo chamber of those I agree with. The diversity of opinions is challenging and broadening. I have learned a great deal and hope this podcast continues. I especially like that there is no audience questioning.

    Cliff’s Notes for Cutting-Edge Research-Based Security Books
    The team at Hoover’s task force on security, tech, and law has done an excellent job assembling this series. It’s a plus when discussants appear to have actually read the books 100% of the time. I like that the co-chairs challenge the authors, providing space for civil debate in a time where so many forums are mere echo chambers lacking both civility and debate. Kudos to the team making this happen!
