040 - Inside the Shell [Bonus Episode 1/2]

This week, it seems as though Russia has been deprioritized by the US Gov as a cyber threat. So I aimed to ask the question, are they really that bad in the first place? Spoiler alert: The answer is yes.

This is the second of two experimental bonus episodes I really wanted to do. Today I invited my non-technical friend, Alex, over to ask me whatever is on her mind. Most of the time it's tech related, sometimes it's about the Loch Ness monster.  So today, before I go on a little vacation, I wanted to share one of those discussions with you.

This is a bonus episode for the new year at the request of a few listeners. There isn't a major hack here, this is about two things. 1. My process for making episodes 2. An experiment I did this year keeping track of all new media I consumed and ranking it.

Is there such a thing in "good" hacking in media? Or are we doomed to watch two people type on one keyboard. Let's talk the good side before we go bad.

It's that time of year, what better way to hop back in than to talk IoT and holiday hacks. Discord: https://discord.gg/bJauPBBhHn  Website: https://whattheshellpod.com  Instagram: https://instagram.com/shell_pod
