Cybersecurity podcasts, ranked.

Dina Temple-Raston's investigative journalism podcast for Recorded Future News — long-form reporting on cyber operations, intelligence, and the people who actually do the work, with the access her NPR-veteran credentials give her.

Bi-monthly French-language cybersecurity podcast pitched as accessible introduction. Michael Virgone interviews one practitioner per episode (OSINT, ransomware, AD, DevSecOps).

Jack Rhysider's long-running narrative podcast on hacking, cybercrime, and intelligence — single-story episodes built around interviews with named participants on the operational side of real incidents.

Jerry Bell and Andrew Kalat's long-running independent podcast on incident response, defensive operations, and the working blue-teamer's perspective on news. Active since 2014, deeply unpolished in production, deeply substantive in content.

French-language long-form interview podcast with practitioners, hackers, and builders in French cybersecurity. Premise: exploring the hacker mindset — curiosity, repurposing, building differently.

Bittner, Carrigan, and Varmazis on social engineering, phishing, fraud, and the human side of attacks — Catch of the Day stories, scam analysis, and interviews with awareness practitioners.

Bi-weekly French-language Quebec cybersecurity podcast. Patrick Mathieu (Hackfest) and a rotating cast cover Quebec/Europe security news with a no-filter tone.

Monthly French-language podcast hosted by three working security engineers. Mix of thematic deep-dives, news review, and debates — around 100 episodes archived.

Ran Levi's narrative podcast on cybersecurity history — single-story episodes covering the Crypto Wars, Stuxnet, the Equation Group, the Conficker Working Group, the WANK worm, and the prehistory of modern cyber. Sponsored by Cybereason but editorially independent.

The official NSA podcast, launched 2024, featuring agency staff and historians on cryptologic history, current cybersecurity programs, and recruitment topics. Dryly reads like government communications because that's what it is.

The reference French-language cybersecurity podcast since 2014. Weekly format, rotating expert panel, practitioner-level treatment of topics.

Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau's weekly Australian-flavored news and industry podcast, running since 2007. Sharp, unsponsored editorial voice, occasional sponsor segments, and the most influential single podcast in the working-security-professional listening rotation.
