    The episode was gone within minutes of seeing the post in the rss feed. 2.5 flippin months, I sure hope he responds to paying customers faster.

      yes agreed. I too bought a PDF but have no idea how to contact them. I suspect either government crack down or hackers. I hope people have saved previous podcasts and upload to archive org or somewhere where USA gov can’t touch it. 🤷

        At first, I was thinking the removal of 306 could just been on the advice of his lawyer. But I see the only thing available are the show notes. I don’t see any podcasts on his site.

          Yeah, I think he’s said in the past how he clears everything with his lawyer before even releasing the podcast

            After posting about the lawyer I noticed all episodes have been removed. I’ve checked over a dozen podcast sites. If there is anything it’s just the show notes and the intermission.

            My total-joke hypothesis is Michael removed the podcasts as a way of reminding us to keep good backups. Keep a copy of everything you may want.

              Even if not, it was a good lesson all the same. I forgot to back up 304 so I’ve learned my lesson and now am going to have to try and track it down.

                304 is a pre-recorded episode about Extreme Privacy Linux Devices pdf. OSINT news involves a few changes to the online tools.

                I can’t see the podcast being gone forever.
