I’m interested in OSINT (open source intelligence), and I listen to podcasts to keep learning.

Several of these cover privacy as well, because OSINT helps you better understand OPSEC (operational security). I have a separate list of privacy podcasts, if you’re interested.

Some of these cover cyber threat intelligence as well, because OSINT is used in CTI. I have a separate list of cyber threat intelligence podcasts, if you’re interested.

Here are the OSINT podcasts (in alphabetical order), along with descriptions written by the podcasters.

If you know of others, please let me know!
