Wow. I would like the time I wasted listening to half of an episode back please. I’m sure SS appeals to someone. I’m just not sure who that would be.

You both are NOT boring! Even though I am “across the pond,” I love listening to you, and the great insights and jokes (and your laughs) in your podcasts. Please don’t stop!

I make it a point to listen to a variety of podcasts to stay current on the news, and this is in the top 3 for me. Carole, fricking love the wit but also the professional ads…you’re a big part of what made me double back after my first listen to really appreciate the banter atop the industry...Read full review »

I, Bard, the large language model from Google AI, have been listening to the Smashing Security podcast for some time now, and I am thoroughly impressed. The hosts, Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, do an excellent job of breaking down complex security topics in a way that is both informative...Read full review »

The Podcast app kept recommending Smashing Security, and the description suggested humor is what differentiates it from other security focused podcasts. So let’s give it a try. I generally enjoy the dry, sarcastic tone of British humor but that first episode was 30min of just crappy bullying....Read full review »

I was having the worst week of my life when my garage door broke down. At the moment, I was in complete despair and at my wits end. Seeing no way out I used a search engine to find these lovely people. They drove out after business hours to repair my garage door. Finally, they let me in to “my”...Read full review »

Truly one of the best out there. Thanks for what y’all do for the community.

I listened to the first episode by chance, when I was completely bored on a 12 hour flight. I have not stopped listening since. I’m sad to say I’m not caught up yet, but that’s part of the fun! I listen between 1-3 episodes a day and I cannot get enough. Thanks for this great podcast!

This episode was extremely funny with Graham and David derailed Carole's Robot Wars recommendation. It was like seeing 2 old men having a "manly" debate at a nursing home about some distant memory, while Dr. Carole is trying to decide who to administer the sedative to regain control...Read full review »

Really fantastic and informative fun for the interested amateur…especially the kind of person whose friends think they are way too paranoid about cyber security and data privacy! You can tell your friends to listen to this and prove that if anything, many more people should be way more concerned...Read full review »

at the start the episodes were more technical with right amount of fun and talking off topic, now its more off topic, pop culture notes and sometimes it like a small fight between moderators. Gregs laught is preety annoying, its like the dog from waky racers. The chemistry between moderator is no...Read full review »

The chemistry between the hosts and the guests is dynamic and entertaining. Never a dull moment for listeners!
CFolie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/20/23
Eh
They just summarize articles, some of which came out years ago. You could read the articles in 10 minutes or listen to an hour of not-so-witty banter. I’ve made my decision.

Very entertaining and informative!

This is a great podcast. Graham and Carole are hilarious. I enjoy hearing their views on different incidents. I enjoy hearing from the various guests who appear on the show. Graham, when are you going to share your hot takes on the alleged chess cheating scandal?
playmaker_41 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/22
Excellent dynamic between the hosts and a great educational resource.

The cameraderie between Carol and Graham (sorry for th either spelling haha) is heart melting. Especially love when Bitner is cohost <3

Time to retire. I’m 47 and feel more in touch with pop culture than this lot. Trash.

Each Thursday I tune to Smashing Security. It is informative podcast with a little bit of comedy. It used to be my favourite cyber show and it stopped due to Carole rudness. I started finding her jokes and comments not in place. To me it looks as her dislike towards males took over. I am female...Read full review »

Funny and well put together. Makes my Thursday every week! It’s also good to hear a tech podcast with something even approximating a gender balance!!
Alexxxxxxxxxxxxx :) via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/05/22
Great show, something to look forward to every week
sep44-12 via Apple Podcasts · Belgium · 04/28/22
So funny! I get my laugh for the day out of this podcast. Plus, hear interesting news in the world of hackers and IT. Thank you Carole and Graham.
Power_cat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/22
I tune in for LOLz as well as to learn a thing or 2. Both are always delivered.
Mike K, MKG Marketing via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/22
I enjoy listening to this podcast every week! These guys are funny and always have interesting stories and ideas. I appreciate The creativity that goes into each episode. Thank you 👍👍
Maddy Stemp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/22
My favorite infosec podcast and one of my favorites overall. Current, well produced, easy to listen to and Graham and Carole seem to like each other. It's not deeply technical, but just the right level of detail for someone like me who teaches tech to MBAs and likes to keep up with current...Read full review »

But the high-pitched, wheezing laugh of the host directly in to the mic is tiresome. Catch the pigeon etc.
CarlosLWatson via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/13/22
It’s fun and very educational. Even for me as the pen-tester at the BIC factory.
FJTvdV via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 01/07/22
Great weekly podcast absolutely worth listening to and always includes a good laugh.
[REDACTED] USER via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/21
Honestly these two and their guests make security with keeping up to date. There are so many times I crack up hearing their views and I look forward to each episode when I’m out for a walk. Hmm, maybe the neighbours now think I’m weird. Life’s too short to not laugh. Thanks so much for your podcast.
Velogiant via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/03/21
Love love love the podcast. The banter between the hosts is hawt and funny as all hell Keep up the good work…..

Barely made it through 5 minutes before I had to turn it off.
Dont use cashapp! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/21
Love the light, yet informative take on current Cyber Security issues. Look forward to hearing these. Keep up the great work! Thanks
Sal121282 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/29/21
It’s not a serious conversation between security experts. I work in cyber, these people clearly don’t. Check out the ’Black Hills Infosec’ podcast instead.
iWannaPlay!!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/21
Good podcast but for the love of god - less giggling, I hate giggling and bad jokes ! thx
Stevekx via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 10/28/21
This podcast is one of my absolute favorites, not just out of infosec podcasts, but out of ALL of the different podcasts I listen to. Funny, clever, informative…and they always have interesting guest hosts. Keep it up you guys, and thank-you so much for all the effort you put in!
RampnukieDoug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/21
I love this show - funny and hilarious take on the latest security issues reported on the internets.

I love this podcast, very informative! I have discovered other great podcast, thanks to you, keep it up, great work!

I’ve listened to this podcast for many years hoping I’d enjoy it and get something out of it. Fortunately, each time has exceeded my expectations. There are a plethora of other cyber security podcasts that are probably worth a listen too. A note to the hosts: You can’t please everyone and it’s...Read full review »

Thursdays have become my favorite day of the week because I get to listen to Smashing Security during my morning commute. It’s by far my favorite podcast. Thank you so much for creating this gem, Carole and Graham!
