Editorial take
The interview show of the International Association of Privacy Professionals, hosted by IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy. Its strength is access: EDPB Chair Anu Talus, Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant, EU AI Act negotiator Laura Caroli and Connecticut Senator James Maroney have all sat for 30 to 50 minute interviews. Bracy is a journalist, so the questions are well researched and the guests get room to explain policy rather than pitch. The limitation is cadence. Episodes arrive roughly monthly at best, the last one was June 2026, and the archive reads as policy journalism rather than practical program advice. Treat it as a primary source on privacy and AI governance law, not a weekly habit.
Last hand-checked 2026-09-30, Cadence slowed: last episode 2026-06-25.
Listen if you …
- follow privacy and AI governance law and want to hear the people who write and enforce it
- are preparing for an IAPP certification and want context beyond the textbook
- like journalist-led interviews that let guests explain their reasoning
Skip if you …
- you want a steady weekly show, releases are irregular and paused after June 2026
- you want hands-on security or privacy engineering, this is law and policy
