NN - EP03 - Who Deserves The Keys To Everyone’s Data
Originally released December 2019Two truths power this episode: creativity can be a lifeline, and strong encryption protects everyone. We kick off with author and podcaster Peter Serafine, who breaks down the real work behind a first book—from early morning writing sprints to paying for editing and learning the hard math of self‑publishing. That honest look at process and patience sets the stage for why a mic can be therapy, not theater: a place to ask better questions and invite smarter answers.Then we sit down with Josh Brunty, a tenured professor of digital forensics at Marshall University’s highly regarded Forensic Science Graduate Program, to dig into the encryption backdoor debate. He frames the issue simply: the same cryptography that frustrates single investigations secures banking, journalism, dissidents abroad, and everyday privacy at home. Backdoors don’t stay with “the good guys.” They weaken the system for everyone. We explore narrow warrants that target exactly what’s needed, not the entire device; why overbroad searches erode trust; and how today’s global tech ecosystem turns U.S. policy choices into worldwide consequences.We also get practical about the lab: triage and AI that help analysts find relevant frames in hours of video; the stubborn complexity of codecs and rendering; the value of disciplined documentation and consent‑based collection; and why “more data” isn’t the same as “better evidence.” Expect frank stories, a dash of humor, and clear takeaways any curious listener can use to think more critically about digital rights, public safety, and the future of forensic work.If the tradeoffs around privacy, security, and justice matter to you, hit play.

NN - EP#02 - Targeted Ads, Tangled Lives
Originally release in November 2019.A single recliner ad jumped from a late‑night browse to a Facebook feed in minutes—and that one moment cracked open a bigger story about how our choices are tracked, merged, and sold. We follow that thread from living‑room shopping to the mechanics of cross‑device identity, data brokers, and real‑time ad auctions. No scare tactics, just clear language and firsthand moments that show why “they must be listening” feels true even when algorithms are doing most of the work.We rewind to the early days of RSS, clunky banner ads, and the fight to bring Wi‑Fi to public spaces to explain how we landed here. The past reveals a pattern: tech outpaces institutions, and leaders often don’t speak the language needed to set guardrails. That gap fuels modern privacy risks and shapes public debates on encryption, law enforcement access, and the role private companies play in gathering more behavioral data than any government office ever could. You’ll hear how gaming sessions can silently drive ad shifts, why Cambridge Analytica still matters, and how probability—not microphones—can make platforms feel psychic.We keep it practical and human. You’ll get doable steps to reduce tracking—reset IDs, limit ACR on TVs, separate browsers for shopping, rein in app permissions—without turning your life upside down. And we share a moment of choosing family over platforms, because attention is the scarcest resource we have. If you’ve ever wondered why the internet seems to know what you want before you do, this conversation connects the dots and hands you the tools to push back.Enjoyed the show? Follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more privacy‑curious listeners find us. Got a story about an ad that followed you a little too closely?

Theodore Rosevelt: "The big bosses of the political field, the beneficiaries of privilege in the field of industry..."
Theodore Rosevelt, Jr. was actually shot. Then did a campaign speech. Then probably went to the damn doctor to get everyone off his back.The following was generated by Google Gemini...While there is no single speech titled "The Big Bosses," Theodore Roosevelt frequently used the term "big bosses" and similar phrases in his speeches and writings to criticize corrupt political figures and machine politics. He viewed these individuals as thwarting the popular will and relying on corruption. Key Contexts and Mentions1912 Set Speech: In a December 11, 1912, article, The New York Times reported on a standard speech Roosevelt gave as a Progressive Party candidate. He declared that "All Progressives Must Come To His" side, and that "We stand for the purging of the roll of American public life by driving out of politics the big bosses who thwart the popular will, who rely on corruption".Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography: In his autobiography, specifically in the chapter about the New York Police, Roosevelt detailed his efforts to reform the police force and tackle systemic corruption. He wrote, "The big bosses rolled in wealth, and the corrupt policemen who ran the force lost all sense of decency and justice". He emphasized his resolve to enforce the law against these powerful figures, particularly concerning saloons and blackmail.1904 Presidential Campaign: A 1904 newspaper snippet indicates he mentioned the phrase during his run for President, asking, "Why won't the big bosses let..." in the context of an "honest and stable currency". Roosevelt's rhetoric consistently targeted the abuse of power by wealthy elites and party machines, aligning with his broader "Square Deal" domestic program that aimed for corporate law reform and consumer protection. He believed the President should go directly to the public to promote change and challenge established, corrupt systems.

Sh*t I ramble about, like music, technology, women, MMA, women's basketball, cartoons, digital forensics, government, military, law enforcement, pretty much all first responder topics, 3D, Pepper's Ghost, and some other stuff, I think.I know a bit about technology. Teaching. Building networks. Infrastructure. Libraries. Other stuff. Answered the phone a lot for free, in the middle of the night, helped some folks. For more on my background, visit - Tatooine - Home of The Seven Five - Part 2 - MTFBWYAnyway, should be interesting. Hope you'll hop on board. Keep being great & doing great things!NOTE: This podcast is NOT affiliated with the documentary of the same name.PS - I love Gilda. Always have. Watch this -
