Network Security Podcast, Episode 85

Time: 46:59

Here’s wishing you an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend from those of us at the Network Security Podcast.

We want to acknowledge the audio problems from the last couple of podcasts and have set aside some time to address the issue over the long weekend . At the very least we’ll switch to double-ended recording; Rich records his half, Martin records his half, add some editing wizardry and you’ve got excellent sound. This adds time and complexity to editing, which is why we’ve tried to avoid it.

Expect the next podcast to be available on it’s regular schedule, this coming Tuesday, hopefully with some excellent quality and a special guest. Until then, have a great long weekend.
