Does anyone here have a reliable source for listening to old episodes of the The Privacy, Security, & OSINT Show Podcast? (www.inteltechniques.com)

Michael Bazzell’s podcast has been a fantastic resource to me over the years, and I was hoping to re-listen to some of the old episodes. I understand his reasoning for not wanting old episodes to be available through his main channel, but it would be a really nice resource to have old archived episodes available for listening.

I’ve read that there is a torrent of them somewhere, but I’ve unfortunately been unable to find them. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be very appreciated.

Uninformed-- what is his reason for not wanting older episodes to be available?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The topics and advice where wildly outdated and he didn’t want people starting at the beginning and taking advice that he has already matured passed himself or use procedures that just don’t work anymore.

Reasoning as to why they prune old shows

EPISODE 287-Listener Questions, UNREDACTED 5, & OSINT 10

https://inteltechniques.com/blog/2023/01/06/the-privacy-security-osint-show-episode-287/

[20:22.30] - The most asked question, we'll start with that.
[20:25.02] And this is a question that is dear to my heart.
[20:27.74] Where are all the old podcast episodes?
[20:30.58] I actually emailed you about this when they disappeared.
[20:33.70] Where are they?
[20:34.82] - Are there some missing?
[20:36.66] - There are all of them missing.
[20:38.54] There are all of them missing.
[20:39.94] About from about a year ago onwards.
[20:42.74] - Yeah, we've been purging old episodes
[20:46.14] for a couple of years now.
[20:48.10] Typically what we do is once or twice a year we go in
[20:51.06] and purge everything over one year old.
[20:54.10] And the reason for that is twofold.
[20:55.90] First, we wanna be responsible.
[20:57.90] We don't want to have bad information out there.
[20:59.58] And there was some bad information.
[21:01.66] We've been doing the show for many years.
[21:02.94] So things that we've talked about in 2016, 2017,
[21:06.26] they not only might not apply to today, they might be wrong.
[21:09.30] And what was happening was,
[21:10.70] and this is the second part of that,
[21:11.74] we were getting a lot of complaints from people saying,
[21:13.50] "Hey, I listened to your show episode 14," whatever,
[21:16.46] from 2017.
[21:18.34] I did the thing you said,
[21:19.66] and then two years later I listened to another show
[21:21.62] or I listened to the show from two years later after that.
[21:23.70] You said that you shouldn't do that anymore
[21:26.02] and basically you gave me bad advice, I'm mad.
[21:28.90] So what we found was easiest was,
[21:32.46] let's just prune old shows
[21:34.38] because a lot of people are,
[21:36.22] they're taking old advice, which is not bad advice.
[21:38.42] It might have been good advice at the time,
[21:39.54] but now it's bad advice.
[21:40.58] Now they're applying these techniques,
[21:41.98] which I shouldn't be applying.
[21:42.98] And we just want to be responsible and say,
[21:44.82] "Let's don't allow bad information to be out there
[21:46.78] because a lot of people are following old stuff
[21:50.14] thinking that it should still apply."
[21:51.98] Now I think most people listening to the show
[21:53.58] know that if you listen to a tech podcast
[21:55.66] from five or six years ago,
[21:57.14] you don't put faith in everything you hear,
[22:00.66] but a lot of people were doing that.
[22:02.02] So we pruned them and we will continue to prune them.
[22:05.06] So I think right now the oldest show is October of 2021.
[22:07.86] I would anticipate by spring,
[22:09.54] we will probably go in again
[22:11.14] and we basically prune everything over a year old.
[22:13.94] I realized people don't like that,
[22:15.82] but we felt like it was the right thing to do.
[22:18.42] - So I understand the reasoning and it still breaks my heart,
[22:21.78] but we'll go on to question number two.
