Corrupted Nerds: Extra

If you've been wondering what's happened to the Corrupted Nerds podcast, well, it's coming back -- but it needs your help.

This week I'm heading to Melbourne for the Australian Information Security Association's annual conference. I'm recording some material there.

But more importantly, I'm running a Pozible crowdfunding campaign to get me to the Ruxcon infosec conference later in the month, and to fund the next few episodes of the podcast.

As I post this, the campaign is 43% funded, and there's just three days left to reach the target.

For all the details, go to http://pozible.com/corruptednerds2 because the podcast won't be back without your support. Do it now.

This Corrupted Nerds: Extra podcast brings you a speech by Malcolm Turnbull, Australia's Minister for Communications, and potential contender for the Prime Ministership -- a hot political topic in Australia right now.

The speech itself was given to open the NICTA Techfest 2015, NICTA being Australia's largest ICT research organisations. There's plenty of motherhood statements about creating a more technological future for Australia. But it's perhaps more interesting because it's effectively another instalment in Turnbull's ongoing softly softly job interview in front of Australian voters.

The recording also includes the brief doorstop press conference held immediately after the speech, during which I ask a couple of questions.

This material was recorded on 20 February 2015 in Sydney, Australia.

The first "Corrupted Nerds: Extra" podcast is the full speech in which Senator Brett Mason coined the phrase "corrupted nerds", from 21 August 2012.
