We also go discuss issues at large, including modern day software complexity. Kate and Andy discuss some important psychological factors, including issues like the public's blind faith in technology and software, and how do we make ourselves less vulnerable to this?

In this episode we go into the background of this scandal, its technical, legal and cultural aspects. We examine where British justice gets things wrong, and what it gets right. We look at technical issues of syncing distributed databases, and talk about forensic issues, reliable logs, back doors, software engineering and standards of evidence. We also look at psychological notions of user error bias, spirals of silence, identification and victim blaming.

Helen and Andy go out into Southampton's East Park for a day, collecting vox pops. These informal street-interviews were our own market research for the podcast and our teaching activities. Do you get the idea of personal cybersecurity or digital self-defence? Who would benefit most from it? Would you attend classes like that? Who can teach it? Who pays for it and how much should it cost?

In this first edition of our Art, Music and Poetry series, Andy reads a short collection of poems by Joel Kabakov. This episode celebrates the life of Joel. He moved his focus onto matters of other worldly perfection, passing too quickly and too soon in June 2022. He left us an important weapon for the struggle against the chaos and madness of technological domination. A word - technofascism.

On today's feature length episode, we will be looking at 'who watches the watcher?'. Although that does sounds like a fantastic Terry Pratchett novel, it is far more menacing in its nature. This episode features a number of stories that have broken in the last couple of months, from some of the biggest tech giants, with some huge settlements out of court for privacy violations on its own users. Are you watching your watchers?

In this episode of 'On The Go', Ed and Helen are out at Sandbanks beach. It is one of the wealthiest areas in Europe and, unfortunately, home to one of the most noise polluted beaches in the south of England. Just behind the drone of private helicopters, jet skis and power boats, you might just about be able to make them out talking about the ruin that money inflicts upon technology and through it; upon society at large.

We're reading from Marcus Renum's 'Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security'. A challenging, and if you can appreciate sardonic pomposity, a very funny take on enduring ideas that are intuitive, simple and... wrong. Marcus is credited as being the inventor of the proxy firewall and wrote this article in 2005. Almost 20 years later, many of the problems remain, not just unsolved, but, comprehensively worse. In this episode, we're covering Action is Better than Inaction.
