You're Listening to "The Dark Stream"
And now for something completely different. This episode is a show within a show.
Get ready to step into The Dark Stream: it's a parody of one of those old late night paranormal, conspiracy, or confession call-in radio shows from the 1980's and 90's. And, yes, it's over-the-top and cheesy.
In this episode, you'll hear some re-edited and never before aired sections from Perry's previous interviews with Rachel Tobac, Maxie Reynolds, and Chris Hadnagy.
Guests:
- Rachael Tobac: (LinkedIn), CEO of SocialProof Security
- Maxie Reynolds (LinkedIn), Founder of Subsea Cloud
- Chris Hadnagy: (LinkedIn); CEO of Social Engineer, LLC; Founder of Innocent Lives Foundation; Founder of Social-Engineer.org
