Without doubt Darknet Diaries, it should be a mandatory listen for anyone touching computers. It is a crash course on building secure systems by learning from the failures of others. I highly recommend starting from episode #1 because they are almost all great and episodes often reference past topics. https://darknetdiaries.com

Could you recommend some episodes?

I started with “Jeremy From Marketing” and really liked that one

One that stuck with me was Ep 86: The LinkedIn Incident. It is about how one seemingly inconsequential device at home being compromised can lead to a massive data breach.

I wonder if there is a gap in the audio market for low-level podcasts aimed at building technical "muscle memory". Example: repeated syntax step-throughs in a rote/kata style, like foreign language courses. I've never seen anything like that and have often wondered if it could work without the visual accompaniment.

Do you mean like https://newrustacean.com by Chris Krycho? Although you have to really concentrate when he starts reeling off those generic method signatures, I love that he went that way with it. And I think it works.

Please do some more, Chris!

I was actually thinking more of an audio version of something like learnxinyminutes [1] but yes, that also seems a good use of the medium at a higher level, thanks! I didn't get to the method signatures/other syntax recital part yet, so it may be what I'm thinking of as well.
