PenguinFred · Jul 2021

The information on this podcast is fantastic. Unfortunately the presenter is not good at public speaking. For one he talks down to his audience and he strings his sentences out as if this was a Kevin Costner film. I would love to see Steve G write the outline for the show and have another excellent cyber security professional who is better with public speaking present the podcast.
