“This episode on AI rapid deployment, what I see as the bull in a china shop approach to AI is easily the most informative IRL podcast to date. Important work, great reporting, and one that we all need to listen to. Kudos to Mozilla.”

“I’ve been missing this podcast and all the good privacy advice it offers. Now I hear that they have a new season coming out with Bridget Todd hosting. This is excellent news and they could not have found a better host to keep this podcast going!”

“Been listening to this podcast since the first season. I think it does a great job at explaining modern digital issues like privacy, security, anonimity etc in a way that’s easy to digest for everyone, not just tech-savvy people. Most importantly, I think it can shed a light on why everyone...”Read full review »

“Essential listening for the privacy wonks, of the sort who use Firefox as their browser. It’s a good fit for a tech-skeptic like me, and a complement to shows like Reset, and Your Undivided Attention.
I just wish they produced episodes more often.”

“I am just a regular every day person, I am far behind the regular, I don’t want to lose data in other ways. I already hate google and have added Firefox Mozilla, and joined Mastodon. So what are other things I should do besides delete my Facebook.”

“This was so full of meaningless chat and waffle that I only managed 2 minutes. It appeared that she didn't have enough material for a full show, so used a lot of padding. It may get better later on, (the other reviews are stratospheric - unwarrantably in my view) so I guess it must have some...”Read full review »

“I liked IRL because Veronica is truly of the internet generation. I was more than a little disappointed to hear Manoush Zamarodi's voice from Note to Self when I started listening to the latest season. This is not because Manoush isn't a great reporter, but because she's old school....”Read full review »
