New Ideas. New Voices. New Hosts.

8 years ago I took over the OWASP Podcast from Jim Manico, originator of the project. In that time over 160 episodes have been published, with over 500,000 downloads. It has been a fun project, but it’s time to change things up a bit. There is a lot going on at OWASP, even more going on with the technology industry when it comes to cybersecurity. It’s too much for one person to keep up with. Enter the idea of multiple co-hosts for the podcast. Many of you listening already know of Vandana Verma and Matt Tesauro from their work with OWASP. I called to ask if they’d like to share the platform, producing their own episodes around a chosen concept. In today’s episode, Vandana, Matt and I talk about thoughts of an expanded concept for the podcast. We’ll each explain what we will be covering in our shows, and what you can expect to hear in the coming year. Our plan is to have three shows, (kind of like NPR programming when I think of it), under one umbrella: The OWASP Podcast Series. Come along with us and we talk through the new series and what it will me to you, as a listener.
