Offensive security and hacking podcasts
Podcasts on penetration testing, bug bounty, exploitation and social engineering, plus the story-driven shows that make attacker tradecraft easy to follow.
Start with a story-driven show if you are new: it teaches how attacks unfold without assuming you can read an exploit. Move to the technical shows once the vocabulary sticks.
