TECHNOLOGY & SECURITY PODCAST

Technology & Security explores the intersections of emerging technologies and national security. Hosted by Dr Miah Hammond-Errey, each episode features in-depth conversation with leading global experts on pressing security threats, policy debates, international technology developments and leadership.

Now in its fourth season, Technology & Security has a distinctly Australian flavour and a genuinely global reach. 70% of listeners are Australian, followed by strong audiences in the US and UK, with listeners on every continent and in most countries worldwide, tens of thousands of downloads and dozens of media mentions.

Guests have included current and former ministers, senior government leaders and intelligence chiefs from Australia and allied nations, alongside current and former senior officials from GCHQ, the CIA and ASD, the President of Signal Foundation, the CEO of RAND Corporation and leading researchers, technologists and policy experts from around the world. The calibre of guests and depth of conversation has seen episode transcripts used as expert interview data in academic research, a rare distinction for a podcast in this space.
