It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

      I love Laporte’s personality, although he’s not strong technically. I feel like 90% of schtick on TechTV was to act like a confused grandpa while others did the explaining.

      But it’s a pretty good trick for running a balanced, and not overly technical, video stream.

      I 100% recommend TWIT, best tech podcast I listen to.

      I usually listed at 1.2x speed with gap skipping on, because they can talk a bit slow.

      Really great for weekly overviews of tech news, and excellent guests.

      I occasionally listen to twit and my only major complaints are: 1) Leo interrupts his guests too much, and 2) whenever Amy Web or Owen Stone come on I have to skip the episode…

      I’ll second Security Now!

      Listened to it for years but kind of lost track when I stopped having to commute. Kind of miss it really but I don’t find as much time for podcasts these days sadly.
