Insightful

Great and insightful podcast with two experts. Their discussions are engaging and well delivered. I really enjoy it in the privacy (pun intended) of my own home or office!

Best privacy & cyber podcast ever

Seriously, the topics are hot, breaking new, regulator insight, practical approach all delivered with humor and incredible expertise. I’ve listened to others - and keep coming back to this one. Love her laugh. And the unexpected question!

Setting the standards with knowledge and experience

The smart one of the bunch. I’ve been listening to Paul and K, for almost a year now and have learned a lot but as well I’ve got entertained while expanding my knowledge. 📖 This privacy podcast will never get you to sleep or feel bored with too much of legal language terms. 👩‍⚖️ Wether you are serious about personal data privacy or just curious about why and where you need to be compliant. You are on the right place .. Enjoy listening.. 👌

Recommend a a 90 second “week in review”

This is a great podcast. The personalities are great and the content is great. To keep me listening, I would recommend a “week in review” snip it at the the beginning of every weeks’ cast so we might be able to dive deeper into certain things post listening, should we have been heads down in a project for a week or two and not tracking what’s going on in the world with respect to privacy law, issues, cases, enforcement, or otherwise. All things considered this pod is top. #1 privacy podcast hands down.

Yes! Listen to this!

I love this show and the concept! So unique and honestly love their accents! (I’m a northerner 😂) So easy and great to listen to ♥️ Love you K Royal!

Not really serious

I like the serious privacy content. I don’t care for the fluff, and the cloying praise of certain US politicians.
