Cyber.RAR is a podcast series from six Harvard Kennedy School students: Michaela Lee, Bethan Saunders, Winnona DeSombre, Danielle Levin, Sophie Faaborg-Andersen, and Grace Park. While each bring a different lens to the show, they all share a common conviction: the field of cybersecurity is rapidly evolving, yet the national security field is falling behind. In this podcast, they uncover why the U.S. government struggles to build basic cyber infrastructure​​, explore how to regulate offensive cyber capabilities, debate the meaning and merits of “hacktivism”, and laugh with each other along the way. Tune in to Cyber.RAR for discussions, debates, and expert interviews on the biggest questions, challenges, and opportunities in cybersecurity.

It will feature primary source audio from a range of sources, speeches, congressional hearings, court proceedings, think tank events, things that we think are interesting and that we think you'll think are interesting. Sometimes edited, sometimes not.

Additionally, this podcast will chronicle Bobby Sheppard, the host, as a start-up founder trying to help the world with his Security company, S3 Global Security Group LLC.
