The Hacker Factory Podcast Legacy

The last episode of The Hacker Factory Podcast was published in June 2023. This was the end of one podcast and the beginning of a new one that would carry on its legacy and spirit. The podcast only lasted a little over two years, but it impacted and encouraged listeners. During the two-plus year life of the podcast, the stories of 118 cybersecurity professionals were shared. A lot was learned from the experience of hosting The Hacker Factory Podcast, and it was used when launching The Phillip Wylie Show. One of the improvements was adding videos and publishing YouTube, which presented new demographics, including a younger audience.

The Hacker Factory Podcast had a good run. In December 2023, it was nominated and won the SANS Difference Makers Award for Podcast, Livestream, or Video Series of the Year in the community division. The community's votes decided the community award winner. I was honored, humbled, and surprised to have won the award. What I put into my podcasts goes beyond the podcast and is part of my community efforts, including speaking, teaching workshops, and mentoring.
