    Darknet Diaries + the Hackable podcast. When I was in-office and walked to work years ago, I cranked through so many episodes of each.

      Darknet used to be good, but there’s been a shift in the content recently in which it feels like Rhysider doesn’t feel like he’s interviewing someone as much as he’s trying to be that annoying guy at the party who keeps butting in to try and tell your story for you.

      I can’t quite tell what changed, or when, but I feel like he used to give his subjects a lot more room to breathe instead of imposing his own personality over everything.

        His crypto monologue in out of the episodes killed it for me. I didn’t disagree on the ideals, if i remember right, but it was just disconnected from reality. It was a “if he is that willfully ignoring reality because he is passionate, maybe I shouldn’t listen to him when he is talking about something that he is passionate about.”
