Many thanks to… well, Smashing Security, for sponsoring my writing for the last month.
It was August, which meant it’s slow news season and vacation season. I didn’t write as much as normal so I could hang out with the family a bit more.
As such I thought it was unfair to ask any of the lovely firms that sponsor my website to support me during August, so I switched over sponsorship until the end of the month to promote the weekly podcast I produce.
If you haven’t listened before, “Smashing Security” is a weekly podcast where I, Carole Theriault, and a special guest discuss some of the quirky stories from the last week’s cybersecurity news headlines, and anything else that takes our fancy.
It’s a great way to spend 45 minutes as you’re commuting to and from work, lazing on the beach, walking the dog, or having a bath. Plus – we promise not to make it boring! Yes, it really is the security podcast for people who don’t like security podcasts.
But don’t just take my word for it…

Thanks to everyone who listens to the show, and who voted us “Best Security Podcast” earlier this year.
Currently we’re getting over 25,000 listeners to each episode in the first four weeks, and our audience has been growing steadily. It’s a really great feeling to have such loyal listeners and Carole and I get a real kick when we meet some of you in “real life” at conferences and events.
Stay tuned!
