40 years ago the late great Douglas Adams released the classic Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Richard this week was giving a talk at the fabled CloudCamp in London and it featured heavily so we talk about that, our personal take on Mothers Day and mothers in general and why becoming a mum is viewed so obviously differently by a mother and her husband/partner. Can we ever agree on anything ? Find out.
This weeks show talks about the pitfalls of the perfect Valentine, looks back through the mists of time at past Valentines in the 1980s and 1990s and our perspective on what it takes to make a Valentine's Day. We also ask each other searching questions from a pack of "Couple's Love Cards" (a little bit of sick just came out) but who knows ? Maybe we learnt something about each other we didn't already know.
Marriage is a constant challenge to all married folk and anyone who tells you otherwise is either happily celibate or in a very small minorty. Give and take is it a concept ? Does your other half pull their weight ? What's the secret to your marriage ? ~ Listen to the show and let us know your thoughts...
This week sees Episode 19 where we continue to explore the drivers of why podcasting is taking off. We offer a complete setup to record professional grade episodes, we talk cheese, married life and much more besides.
This week Chloe hit her 36th birthday, aging disgracefully but we take time out to talk age gaps and our different outlooks to things including the topic of the Grim Reaper catching up with all of us eventually. We talk about married life peeves, sharing a bathroom with your husband ? Do you all tolerate your husband's bathroom habits or are you worse ?
The episode where the New Year is definitely a distant memory a week in, we discuss changing priorities, flatulence, pregnancy, did we keep any resolutions seven days on. Feeling your age or not, letting things slide, we look forward to a fun few weeks and generally talk married stuff. Like you do. Or maybe you don't... Let us know
First episode of 2018 recorded 2nd January, the first day Chloe sounded human for five days, we talk about surviving Christmas and New Year and actual New Years Resolutions that have been stated now publically on the cast - so listen in and lets see where it takes us.
So this year just like last year we travelled to New York with our family and the kids and we saw an opportunity to record a special show just for you guys. Recorded LIVE in Time Square and talking to special guests put on the spot with a microphone, talking to other couples about what Christmas means to them in North America. We had a blast recording this live and the quality is pretty good too. Have a great Christmas, thanks for listening to this and our other shows and come back throughout 2018 for more great content. Happy Christmas !!
We discuss how Christmas has changed since our childhoods and also look at the differences in our growing up at polar opposites of class and country a generation apart. Come back for a festive special podcast next week from a surprise location and who knows ? We may even have a special guest.
Middle age invades every marriage at some point and this is not the place for a confessional however it will do. Grooming habits and whisky cocktails combine to set the festive route to Christmas as Chloe confesses how she keeps warm at night. Tune in next week for Episode 14, with a special Episode 15 that will be very very different.
In Episode 12 it's the last week in November 2017 and we confront the idiots who stockpile food for Christmas a year ahead or panic buy in the shops and we examine why if there is a zombie attack it's everyone round Richard and Chloes for tea and cakes. Come back next week for episode 13
Episode 11 coming to you slightly later than planned because of manflu and the dreaded lurghi. We talk about why we podcast and what the influences are for that podcasting, talk This American Life, Tell Em Steve Dave and much more. Christmas is ever present so we dicuss this and the English fascination with misunderstanding the relevance of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and the idiocy of people buying crap online. Come back next week for the next episode
Apologies for this show being later than usual - we always try and go live on a Sunday. However, illness got in the way and now we aren't so nasally and full of phlegm we are able to get behind microphones and record this weeks show, episode 10. We talk about living for today, our trademark hotel penis makes a re-appearance (yes you read that correctly and if you haven't tuned in before all will be revealed). Come back next week for episode 11.
Episode 9 continues the rich vein of confessional conversation that now 70,000 people tune into every week, we talk about our penchant as dog owners, recorded on bonfire night November 5th you'll have to put up with feint firework noise in the background to the show. Chloe does her best to seduce two twenty something muscular gardeners but admits she missed the opportunity. Tune in next week for Episode 10 next week - 12th November !
This week in the UK Chris Packham TV's amazing ornotholigist and animal expert was on BBC TV in a commissioned programme talking about having Aspergers Syndrome following on from his amazing book Fingers in the Sparkle Jar which we recommend to everyone. Chloe for a decade has lived and loved Richard, happily married, two kids - despite Richard having Aspergers. Thanks to the BBC and Chris for being so honest, open and transparent and giving us a voice and a platform as folk in the wider world. Hear how we've coped, embraced differences and learnt how to deal with daily issues while not letting it change life more than it needs to. A slightly longer episode than usual but its a complex topic not many people understand.
This week we look at what it takes to feel like you're actually an adult. When are you ready ? What is the point you feel "fuck yes I did it !!", what are the steps you've personally taken to adulthood or are you still fighting it. We talk regret, angst, pride, projectile vomit and good cheese. Chloe takes Richard to task, Richard just about struggles to feel like he has a hold on reality and looks back with anger. If you've not already visited the Facebook page for Not Quite The Afterglow go do it now !
Chloe is a Millenial, Richard is just plain old. We talk Generation X and Y, internet dating and the challenges folk face with the perils of internet dating, we talk Foo Fighters, bridging the age gap with music, we look back in time without getting maudlin and too depressed. Count our blessings that we aren't in our twenties again, come back soon for Episode 6 and do visit the Facebook Page "Not Quite The Afterglow" and give us some feedback !
This is episode 4 where Chloe continues to demonstrate why she wears the trousers. Richard laments modern fashion, both recover from a very mild excess of home made cocktails and generally put the world to rights as only they can. Chloe talks Doritos, dodgy teenage fashion and Richard generally just feels hard done by. If you haven't already visited the Facebook Group "Not Quite The Afterglow" then you're missing out and full technicolor details of some parts of this podcast will be less enjoyable (go look !!). Come back next week where Chloe will no doubt put Richard in a headlock or tie him to a moving car and wave him goodbye lovingly. More than 11,000 people listened last week which is terrifying ....
This is part 2 of the 2 part podcast talking to Lance James of Flashpoint who you may have seen on Mr Robot Decoded the Season 2 warmup for USANetwork's award winning Mr Robot. Companies and conferences globally pay a fortune to have Lance appear on stage. So for you guys to have an hour of his time in two half hour podcasts this stuff is worth it's weight in gold. We talk how to build out your network, be a better infosec professional, how to lead and how to build usecases and risk operations strategies seriously. These two shows are some of the best security content you'll listen to in 2016 so download and share !
Lance previously joined me at RSAC in March. If you saw Mr Robot Decoded - the warmup show for Mr Robot season 2 you'll have seen Lance talking about what drives hackers. So we thought wouldn't it be good to really do a deep dive about why hackers do what they do, what it means for you. This is education as good as it gets and it's costing you nothing to listen to. This is part 1 of a 2 part show. Tune in next week for the next one.
I am joined on this show by Evelyn de Souza from Cisco. Evelyn is a huge security voice in Cisco Systems working in the Chief Technology and Architecture Office (CTAO). Well known for her public speaking and security leadership. Like me she also contributes and supports the Cloud Security Alliance where she is a strategy advisor. We talk about her CHAOS thery concept and also how Cloud Access Service Brokers will change cloud security, how we need to think about the positioning of security services and solutions and just be more grown up about architecture.
Joining me on the show today are Eurotech who are partnering with Red Hat in the IoT world. We talk with Andrea Ceiner who is Product Marketing Manager M2M/IoT at Eurotech. Recently Red Hat announced publically that we had chosen Eurotech as our partner for intelligent gateways and this podcast gives you a deep dive as to why we are working so closely together. More to follow at Red Hat Summit
Jim Reavis joins me from Cloud Security Expo 2016 at London ExCel centre. Jim is now on his fifth podcast with me since 2012 and we talk Cloud Security Access Brokers, changes at the CSA, we talk about why you can't be lax about not using freely available matrixes and resources and why you should be working with the CSA. We look ahead to the end of May where we will be presenting in Dublin so for more info check the website or the Twitter (or my Twitter) feeds.
Joining me on the show this morning is Martin Percival Senior SI Solutions Architect here at Red Hat EMEA. Martin is one of our global team of solution architects who works daily with our customers to add strength in depth to their aspirations. We try to explain what Red Hat brings to the marketplace, what we actually do - compared to what you think we do. Listen in.
Mikko Hypponen is one of the nicest security guys on the planet. Chief Research Scientist at F-Secure, 25 year veteran of the security industry. Probably the BEST security orator in the world and this podcast is long overdue. We talk about threat landscape, some predictions, fads, trends, pinball, container security, ransomware etc. Tune in - we keep it real.
ExoScale are one of my favourite companies in Switzerland a country I adore since childhood. Come listen to them talk to me about their community built secure cloud. This is the second time they've been on my podcast - first time was a few years ago in Amsterdam. Listen in now.
Neira Jones is one of the most forthright exponents of doing security right in the financial and payments industry. Acclaimed by the press and fellow professionals as the top of her field it was great to have her come and sit in on the show and be on my panel here at CES2016.
Joining me on the show is Andy Williams, the UK CyberEnvoy to Washington DC to talk about RSAConference 2016.
I mentioned ZoneFox in my column on TheStack yesterday. Well I think it's time you heard them talk. They are an ethical and hugely talented startup in Scotland. I really hope they are NOT acquired soon. I think being acquired could be the dumbest thing they could do unless it was on the promise of their product and futures being assured. This technology, and I am really hard to impress, is one of the diamonds of RSAConference this year. Sadly 99.8% of the people attending will come away without ever hearing of it. So lets do something about that. Listen to this show because if you are a developer or a company executive you're going to come away thinking - I want or need this product. It's THAT good.
Ever seen the thriller series "Person of Interest" ? In the show an overarching computer called "The Machine" knows and sees everything, Nuix an Australian company staffed by former military intelligence staffers has produced just that. Keith and I discuss.
Bastille-Networks are clever folk. They are in the top three IoT security companies on the planet and Marc Newlin is a smart engineer, listen in because there is a vulnerability he has discovered which should concern us all. I'm not going to spoil this - Go listen....
Sat down with me today is Lance James, Chief Scientist at Flashpoint. Flashpoint are probably THE guys to go to when you think about emerging threat. If you've seen Mr Robot, Flashpoint is about as close to that as it gets, except real world. Threat identification, planning and looking at emerging threat globally, looking at terrorist threat, cyber terrorism, ransomware etc. Lance is a good friend and I always panic before recording as he and I will laugh like drains if allowed. Lance is the author of "Phishing Exposed", former Deloitte, working with CBC, CNN, the BBC, the David Lawrence Show, ZDNet, Wired News, CSO, USA Today, Fox News, and the Washington Post and now seen live on US TV as a security anchorman. He's also my drinking buddy.
The RSA Conference organising committee do an amazing job every year to spend 365 days putting together the best conference they can and the continual planning for other geographic RSA events. I'm joined on the show by Todd Inskeep and he and I detail why attending RSA, being an exhibitor or an attendee is so vital to be taken credibly and to increase your chances of succeeding in security or dealing with emerging threat.
There are forces of nature and there are forces for change. Seldom do you get both in one package. Raj Samani is one of those packages. Intel's authority on security, globally recognised and accepted as one of the most gifted speakers of his generation, Raj gives us the benefit of appearing on this show. We've recorded before a few years ago at another security show and I count him as a valued friend. This show more than any other deserves your attention. Theres a reason he has twice packed RSAC this year both at the CSA conference on Monday and then today in his keynote. He gets it. A visionary looking ahead at the challenges we face in security and the positive force for good that building the right practical controls can mean to the journey we're jointly on as we try to embrace that transformation. Sit back, relax, listen to Raj as he and I put the world to rights as best we can.
Josh Bressers for 12 years now has been the quiet unassuming security hero at Red Hat working with the Security Response Team to build common sense practices and polished security processes into the operating system Red Hat Enhanced Linux (RHEL), and all derivative products in the virtualisation space (RHEV), and our products in middleware, storage and now containers and the cloud. He is presenting at RSAConference on Friday as well as talking at the Red Hat security breakfast on Wednesday this week here in San Francisco. It's overdue that I put a microphone in front of him. This is what happens when you put two security geeks in that position.
Richard Morrell, Red Hat's Principal Security Strategist returns to the radio mic to talk to Richard Stiennon live from The Moscone Center San Francisco as part of RSA Conference 2016. Talking about CNAP, challenges of US Federal Government security and some realities.
