Editorial take
The cybersecurity podcast for people who like investigative journalism more than industry insider chatter. Dina Temple-Raston brings NPR-grade narrative production to stories about ransomware operators, nation-state intrusions, and the regulatory response. Episodes are reported, not improvised, which produces a different listening experience than the panel shows that dominate the security podcast category. It is made by Recorded Future News, the newsroom owned by threat intelligence company Recorded Future.

- you prefer reported narrative journalism to panel-discussion formats
- you want context on the people behind cybersecurity incidents, not just the technical details
- want 20 to 30 minute reported episodes rather than an hour of panel talk
Skip if you …
- you need rapid news of the week, episodes are reported pieces that look back at a story
- you want technical depth on TTPs, the focus is human-centric storytelling
