Darknet Diaries: True stories from the dark side of the Internet.

Bingable stories about hackers, defenders, threats, malware, botnets, breaches, and privacy.
I've been listening on and off for the last few months. I was initially put off by Rhysider's over-the-top tabloid style but if you can get passed that then there is a huge amount of solid reporting that makes quite technical topics approachable.

Not sure it merits episode-by-episode posts exactly, but overall just loving Rhysider's writing and credulous delivery and the alarming stories he shares. The most recent episode, 3 Alarm Lamp Scooter, was a little different in that it focused mostly on one person's screwy thought processes that led to a tragic ending, rather than the technical issues of what he did, but even the highly technically focused episodes really grab you on a human level, even as some are just kind of a rundown of cascading system failures after a well placed hack of one kind or another.
Even though there is lots of technical terminology and I know nothing about computers, I follow along fine. He makes everything understandable to lay people.
Finally, Rhysider has a great radio voice! Love the show and looking forward to more.
