2018 was a good year. I made some format changes that I’m really happy with. I picked up some new audio equipment. I resolved my recording process (I think). I’m not a big statistics guy. I don’t really care if two people or 200 people listen. I’m just happy to have some really great conversations with people and contribute back to the community. I’ve got a new recording setup that will hopefully make producing a podcast much easier. I’ve setup a Twitch channel for gaming and potentially recording EIS episodes on. Follow for notifications on when I go live. I’ll be trying my first EIS episode Monday, January 7, 2019, at 8:30 p.m. CT. I’ve also turned what was my attempt at a GamerSec Discord channel into the Exploring Information Security channel. Here you can interact with us while record (or on Twitch). Join other people interesting in the podcast. Game with other infosec professionals. Thank you for being a listener of the podcast. I am refreshed from my month off and energized for what’s ahead in 2019.
2017 was a great year for the podcast. I saw increased listernership. We had a new episode format that involved talking to several security professionals at various conferences. I've also seen an increase in companies and public relation firms reaching out to me to pitch guests. In 2018 I'd like to explore some new formats. There may be a conference panel in the future. I also expect to look at advertising and sponsorship for the podcasts. I also need to work on an archive feed for older episodes.

In this exciting edition of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Steve Ragan of CSO joins me to discuss how information security professionals should interact with the media. Steve (@SteveD3) prior to becoming an InfoSec Journalism Wizard for CSO he spent 15 years as an IT contractor. Last year Steve gave talks on how to interact with the media at conferences such as CircleCityCon and DerbyCon. With information security getting more play in the media recently it's important that we all have a basic understanding of how to interact with the media. In this episode we discuss: interacting with different types of media; contacting media to make a correction; the difference between on-the-record and off-the-record; not being afraid of the media; and a bonus story.
