Taking out the Eurotrash

Comments Off on Taking out the Eurotrash Posted by on December 23, 2014

eurotrash_sqRegular listeners are probably already aware by now, that the Eurotrash is no more! As with all good things, there had to be an end, and with the last Christmas episode, we got the old crew back together for one last go around! We’d like to say that we’re throwing in the towel because our efforts to solve world hunger and push the middle east peace process through is taking up most of our time, but if I did I’d only be telling half the truth.

A While ago the crew decided that we weren’t having enough time to record and edit the way we wanted to… as you can see, the number of episodes in 2014 was down on the previous years, because of lack of time and so many other projects. So, something had to give. We hope you’ve had a fun journey with us over the years, and it’s been a pleasure to do.

So, thank you Ben, Craig, Dale, Wim… thank you to the guests over the years for putting up with our silly questions… and most of all, thank YOU the listeners for making us want to do this thing again and again until our hands bled from the editing, and our families were starving on the streets*

So, this Christmas time, don’t cry for us! Light a candle (or a cigarette), and raise a glass (or a bottle of vodka) to the Eurotrash Security Podcast… gone but not forgotten! Episode 50: The Final One… evar

“Doesn’t Ben look hawt in his new work outfit!”

Note: Past episodes will remain available on http://eurotrashsecurity.eu until such time as  Craig gets so drunk that he forgets to renew the domain… or he pawns it to buy cheap aftershave! So probably a few months at least 😉

Eurotrashsec… the year that was!

Comments Off on Eurotrashsec… the year that was! Posted by on January 19, 2012

2011 was a good year for the Eurotrash Security Podcast. We did some new stuff (being a media sponsor for the FIRST conference, and being 50% of the FIRST Podcast with Martin McKeay from the Network Security podcast), and we kept to an almost monthly schedule… which is much harder than you think. We also brought Ben (AKA Wicked Clown, AKA Mr Inappropriate) into the fold, and immediately started to need to edit out offensive content more often. A coincidence I’m sure 😉

In general 2011 was a big year for us… and 2012 could be even bigger. Eurotrashsec got nominated for a social security blogger awards in the best security podcast category! An honor to be sure… even if we don’t (and we won’t) win.

So what was up in 2011 for Eurotrashsec… well, the man behind the curtain, @xme, sent over some stats and a wicked mashup of episodes downloads overlayed on Google Maps… so let’s get to some stats.

General stats:

  • Total hits: 2.493.500
  • Total MP3 downloads: 103.346
  • Total unique IP’s: 56.152
  • Visits: 5.013
  • Unique visitors: 3.501
Nice to see that the podcast topped the 100,000 downloads in 2011. I’m sure Pauldotcom does that in a weekend, but we like to be niche… honest! It’s not to late to download the episodes you missed now you know 😉 –> XML

Top-5 countries:

  • UK
  • US
  • BE
  • DE
  • FR
I’m pretty sure that the French listeners will be dropping after the last podcast… still we like to try and be equal opportunity offenders (we like to offend everybody equally that is). So looks like we need to move up the list to our German listeners next 😀
I threw together some nice graphs in Excel (@wimremes is probably turning in his grave right now) that show the most popular episodes of 2011 and the downloads (full show and microtrash episodes). I also made a screenshot of @xme’s wonderful map overlay –> full version HERE

Let 2012 begin!

BruCON: Podcasters Meetup

1 Comment Posted by on September 9, 2010

For the first time in the history of security podcasters meetups, podcasters from three continents will join forces at Brucon on September 24th, 2010 to record a podcast episode while streaming live audio and video.

We would like to thank our awesome sponsors for helping to make this event possible:

We would also like to thank the BruCON organizers for providing the location, support and assistance to put this event together.

Cool, when will this take place

  • Date : September 24th
  • Time : 21:00-22:00
  • Place : Main auditorium @ the Brucon venue
  • More info on Brucon ? http://www.brucon.org

Who will be there ?

The following podcasts will be present at the meetup :

So what are you all up to ?

We’re podcasters. We podcast. Generally this means we talk into microphones while a recording device picks up the soundwaves we produce. On this occasion we will discuss topics provided by the audience and security-related questions from the audience. We will not provide general counselling or relationship advice.

We might randomly throw some swag your way, a helmet is optional.

After the recording you can join us in the Brucon lounge where we will chill out and partake in Seccubus Powerpoint Karaoke. Drinks are on us until 11pm. Whatever will happen AFTER that is still a big question. As the question is slowly answered, it remains BIG and might grow HUGE. More details soon.

I have a topic or a question for you!

Send everything you want to ask us : feedback@eurotrashsecurity.eu

It’s not too late to become a sponsor of this event. Apart from making our listeners very happy, it is a unique chance to showcase your brand to the security community. Occasions where you are represented to an audience of thousands on 3 different continents are rare. hit us up at feedback@eurotrashsecurity.eu for details.
