Thanks for starting this podcast. There's not nearly enough discourse on how and why to engage in the privacy space.

Two suggestions:

First, that either within the topic and episode, or splitting episodes, it would be great to have a dividing line between entry level and more in depth expert level conversions. How are passwords stored? Great to send to my mom. I'm super curious to hear in the weeds thoughts about passkeys (to challenge or not my opinion that they're mostly silly)

Second, for my mom and friends, occasional instructive episodes - how to check and change things like your iPhone privacy settings, etc. Maybe better for videos, but still, it's a resource. Or point people to sites like EFF or others that can provide a step by step guide.

Hey, there! Thanks for the feedback and the fantastic suggestions.

...it would be great to have a dividing line between entry level and more in depth expert level conversions.

Our goal with this initial batch of episodes, the Privacy 101s, is to do just that: produce more elementary, beginner-friendly content that nearly everyone should be able to listen to without issue. Might be hard to give an answer to this question as we only have one of these episodes up so far, but do you feel Ep. 002 hit that mark? We've got several more in the works with that audience in mind (and they'll be titled and tagged as Privacy 101 on the website for easy filtering). Once these 101s are done, we plan to pivot to more advanced topics, but occasionally circle back to update, refresh, and add to the 101s as necessary. We're trying to strike a careful balance between not rehashing old or well covered content by other community members, and producing content that's applicable to anyone at nearly any stage of their journey.

Second, for my mom and friends, occasional instructive episodes...

Instructive episodes are a great idea! We had envisioned the Privacy 101 episodes as being something of a "starter pack" that can be referred back to for newer listeners, with periodic updates to those as the show ages. But things change quickly, so perhaps we need to do that with a bit more intentionality. In addition to that, we are building out resources, including step-by-step guides and interactive tools, that will eventually be available on the website. (I actually have a very small "announcement" about this in the next episode). Videos are an interesting idea... I'll chat with Jay more about this and see if that's something we want to put on the roadmap.

Thanks again for your feedback, and please keep it coming!
