In the final Data Protection Made Easy episode of 2024, hosts Jasmine Harrison and Joe Kirk delivered a heartfelt and slightly humorous send-off for Jasmine as she wraps up her incredible four-year journey with Data Protection People. Known as the cornerstone of the podcast for the past two years, Jasmine’s insights, wit, and passion for data protection have been invaluable to both our listeners and the DPP team.

Reflecting on memorable moments, shared accomplishments, and a few laughs from their farewell drinks the night before, Jasmine and Joe navigated a lighter, celebratory discussion while still offering their signature take on the latest data protection updates.

While we’re sad to see Jasmine go as she embarks on her exciting travel adventures, her legacy as a podcast host and data protection advocate will remain a cherished part of DPP’s history. Tune in to this special episode to hear heartfelt goodbyes, a few candid moments, and a glimpse of what’s to come for Data Protection Made Easy in the new year.

Good luck, Jasmine – you will be greatly missed!
