Looking for privacy feeds, podcasts, etc recommendations!

As I try to wane myself off of the more mainstream social media websites (reddit, twitter, etc) I find that I have a bit of a hole in terms of reading / watching material.

This forum has had a big impact on my interest in all things privacy so I am hoping to get some recommendations, for some good privacy reading / watching / listening. My preferred method would be RSS feeds (as a lot of my “on-the-go” reading is through Feeder these days) or podcasts but, all sources all welcome. :slight_smile:

EDIT: Master list of suggestions

EDIT 2: added links and, some of the current ones I follow just to give back after receiving so many great suggestions!

EDIT 3: more links for people to check out, in what was a very similar discussion that @ph00lt0 pointed out.

EDIT 4: Updated list 10/7/2024 as users seem to be responding to this thread again.

Awesome! Thanks for the list. I have only heard of a few of these so I am excited to dig in and check out the rest!

There is a pretty broad range in that list from things like Surviellance report that are primarily privacy & security news to more entry level resources like NBTV and Techlore, to longer interviews with notable people in the privacy space like Opt Out, to more entertaining story formats like Darknet Diaries.

I enjoy Rossmanns content, and have heard of Mental Outlaw but not actually checked it out. The rest of these are new to me. Really appreciate all the suggestions!

Going to edit my initial post and start making a master list to keep track of all this.

Wanted to share my AntennaPod Echo this year. (Not all of them are purely privacy related tho.)

I look forward to their banter during my monday mornings.

Also if you like scraping at the bottom of the barrel, there is always reddit feeds… like r/privacy… :rofl:

r/privacy is probably the worst place to go for privacy and security advice, etc. Reddit in general is toxic too.

This seems like a duplicate of What podcasts about privacy do you listen to?

I dont really go there for advice, more like seeing what the current events/drama is going on now.

Yeah they are very similar, if mods want to combine these posts feel free.

Sorry I didn’t catch that!

felt like r/privacy was better before the “protest” happened and they stopped letting users make posts. on a more serious note if anyone has any lemmy communties they want to suggest I am open to it!

I try to avoid reddit as much as I can now, partially for ethical reasons but mostly because reddit.com is blocking my vpn which forces me to go to old.reddit.com everytime. lol
