Cybersecurity Podcasts Today, Executive Series

By Brian Lathrop, CISSP — Founder and Editor-in-Chief. Published November 2016. A later issue of the same Executive Series whose February 2016 issue is the v0 corpus source. This issue is the one a Middle Georgia cybersecurity professor adopted as required course material in 2016–17.

"It took decades to realize the power of the printing press … Have you realized the power of podcasts yet?"

The Cybersecurity Podcasts Today: Executive Series ran monthly across 2016. The February 2016 issue is CastingBridges v0's source-of-truth corpus. The November 2016 issue, archived here, is institutionally significant for a separate reason: it was the issue adopted by a Middle Georgia cybersecurity professor as required course material — establishing the platform's institutional-fit pattern a decade before the platform existed.

Institutional-reception receipt (2016–17)

The November 2016 issue was adopted by a Middle Georgia cybersecurity professor as required course material for his students that term — modifying the CPE-hours column into academic points (1.0 hour → 100 points, 0.5 hours → 50 points). One of five independent 2016–17 institutional-reception receipts CastingBridges carries into its 2026 launch posture. See About for the full set.

Where this issue lived in 2016

www.cybersecuritypodcaststoday.com (now retired). The site published a Cybersecurity Podcasts Today Newsletter monthly throughout 2016, with the Executive Series as the deeper-review companion product. The v0 CastingBridges corpus draws from the February 2016 issue (which carries the full Learning Points + Answer Key needed for the Executive Review primitive); the November 2016 issue is archived here for the institutional-reception-receipt context.
