In episode 96 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Chris Woodworth joins Sam and Mark to talk about whether cyber security needs to be serious, and we have fun creating Christmas characters like Pogo the Elf!

Our VO question this week is all about what you do and don't need to worry about when it comes to promoting yourself on social media!

Script 1

So, your boss has given you the go-ahead to work from home. Awesome!

But moving from a secure office environment to your cosy home office isn’t as simple as just logging onto your home WiFi. If you receive an unexpected email from your colleague, it might not actually be a colleague on the other end. When in doubt, call or verify via text and report any suspicious messages to your IT security team.

Don’t ever click on links like these. Rather bookmark the sites you frequently visit.

You are our strongest line of defence so remember to be super vigilant.

Script 2

It’s that time of year again and we gotta get “you know who” ready for his global trip.

Hi, I’m Pogo the Elf, and I oversee the production and packaging of all of the Christmas presents. Yeah…of course the big guy has the last say, but I’m the one he comes to for the inventory.

Anyway, I’ve been given a very special assignment this year. That’s to organise this year’s Company Christmas Party. There’ll be a bouncy castle, games and a fancy dress contest for all the kids. Not to mention even BIGGER rides, a bar, and more for the adults….and yes…..a DJ!!!
