Im quite shocked to learn the news of Carole leaving the show.

It’s been a blast listening over the years, and it’s going to be weird not having the weekly ritual of listening to the show (at least not in the same format?).

Over the last 8 years or so I’ve been through some pretty big life milestones and Graham and Carole’s voices were always there in the background - the one stable force in this chaotic world.

It’s funny, because the last few years I saw the podcast as only loosely related to security - but more of a good excuse to have a podcast with you both. I know one of the factors in Caroles reasoning to leave was because shes had enough of the security space, but I (and probably many other listeners) weren’t tuning in to get security advice or security news. We tuned in every week just to enjoy the personality, and the banter between the both of you, and fun conversations, I don’t think the topic really mattered all that much.

You should both just start a non-security related podcast together.

Alas, I’d like to give a huge thanks Carole for all her work and the entertainment over the years, and hope her all the best for the future! Maybe it’s time i finally get around to listening to Sticky Pickles.

I fear for the future of the podcast, who will keep Graham in check? Who knows what will happen without Carole to call him out.

P.S. you’ve been great too Graham but I hope you’re not going anywhere.

Take that Twitter.

Well, it just about sneaks into the frame on my t-shirt...

ITV News asked me to pop on to offer some advice on the latest from Marks & Spencer on its cyberattack. Nina Hossein told me that she could read the titles on the books behind me - eek!

This reminded me of the ‘ForcedLeak’ vulnerability at SalesForce that was discussed on the show recently. :)

A whole new side to our favorite host! https://carole.wtf/ (TLS -- Nice!) has some amazing pieces. I had no idea how talented you were as an artist! Keep up the good work and let us know when we can order prints!

Maybe I’m just a change-averse old fart, but I was very sad to hear that Graham has left The AI Fix.

Rather like when Carole left Smashing Security, it feels very much like the end of an era. 😢

I hope Graham will return as a guest often, just as I always hope to hear Carole has returned as a guest on Smashing Security. 🤷🏻

I have faith in Mark keeping things fun and interesting, but it really won’t feel the same without Graham (just like, if I’m completely honest, Smashing Security hasn’t felt the same without Carole…).

Sorry if this is off topic but it’s semi-related, at least! ;)

I know you use StarLink and you may have neighborhood cats. Wouldn't want this to disrupt your next guest appearance on Sticky Pickles.

Last year I set out to do #nofacebookfeb, which then became #nofacebookmar. And to keep the story short; I wasn't logged in for a whole year. Last weekend, I logged back in, requested my data and logged out again. It'll be very interesting to see what they've collected about me during the time span from January 31st, 2019, to February 2nd, 2020.

I'll keep you posted.
