“I used to listen to/ subscribe to 5-6 TWIT shows. I’m down to two, and MBW is on the chopping block.
But Security Now remains stellar. Steve Gibson is a treasure.”

“While Steve will make it past 1000 podcast episodes, sadly I will not. I’ve really enjoyed listening to Steve and Leo over the years, but they have stopped getting to the root cause of too many stories before reporting on them. Episode 958 was the last one. See you!”

“I’ve listened to 2 episodes and may change my mind, but here are my issues right now.
1–They try and connect and cram to many topics into one episode and it leaves my confused about what the point they are trying to make is.
2–While the speaker has a great reading voice there is a lot of...”Read full review »

“While I do appreciate the idea of TWIT shows, they are just simply too long and long-winded for me. I have tried many times to listen to the shows but I just can't make it through before something else comes up. Even at double speed. I guess that's just how my life is at the moment. I...”Read full review »

“From my standpoint, Security Now is one of the few TWiT shows still worth watching. For the most part, Steve Gibson does a solid job explaining security matters that are typically complex. On the negative side, the show is overly long, Gibson can get too far in the weeds, and the host (Leo...”Read full review »

“Leo, you cracked me up so much at the end of this podcast while I was cooking up a new style of food I’ve never cooked before, i had to stop and pause because I was laughing so hard.

Unfortunately, the host, Leo Laporte, is prone to inject politics and conduct ad hominem attacks on individuals...”Read full review »

“There’s a lot of good content in this podcast, but it’s FAR TOO LONG. Even listening to this podcast at 2x speed (I listen to most podcasts at 1.5x) makes me wish Apple had an even faster mode.
Please stop reading press releases and new laws in detail.
Steve’s occasional rants are frustrating...”Read full review »

“You don’t see the benefits of crypto because you didn’t have your family starved to death by hyperinflation.
Sqrl is a great example of something that would contribute to crypto security yet. “Crypto isn’t secure” by the cryptography show, and their reasoning is that the companies are bad?”

“Thank you Steve (and Leo) for keeping this topic entertaining, as well as informative, for these many years. Because of you, I got more and more interested in the security field of IT and have finally transitioned into it. Still have a lot to learn, probably past 999, Steve.”

“Leo seems to be falling further and further out of touch with what “we” the listeners want from a security podcast. Making your views facts in your mind does not make it true.
