    It makes me more confident in how I handle my network, but we do a lot of case studies on breaches that show how easily they can happen. The level of incompetence a lot of organizations show with handling customers information and how effective social engineering is makes me very hesitant to provide any personally identifiable information. Data is such a big business that there's not really any way to avoid it anymore, though.

    This is one of my favorite shows. I have to pace myself with it, though, because I get way too paranoid about data breaches and getting hacked when I overdo it. This show is actually what made me choose to add a cybersecurity concentration to my degree.

    I think my favorite audio book of all time has to be World War Z. It's one of my favorite books and the full cast narration really brings it to life. I'm also really glad they updated it with a full, unabridged version. The original was good but it was missing some of my favorite chapters.
    A close second is the Bobiverse series. Ray Porter does a fantastic job with the narration. I'm kind of bummed they updated the original We Are Legion (We Are Bob) recording, though. It was a little thing, but the original mispronunciation of Archimedes always made me chuckle.
    If you can find it, R.C. Bray's version of The Martian is really good, too. It was a shame they pulled it after Podium Audio's publishing rights expired. I haven't heard the Wil Wheaton version, but I don't think he was the right fit for that particular story.

    I enjoyed TAZ Balance a lot but I couldn't get into the following arcs. I think I just got attached to the characters they played rather than the podcast itself. Dungeons and Daddies is a really good one, too. I haven't listened to a lot of it yet, but I've liked what I've heard.
