Transatlantic Cable Podcast

For the 135th edition of this week’s Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable Podcast, Dave and I continue our quest to bring positive vibes to your remote workday.

This week, we sit down with Kristina Branchugova of the brand team at Kaspersky. While she may work on the brand side of things, Kristina has a very interesting hobby outside of the office – gaming.

During our chat, we discuss everything from why I keep breaking brand guidelines to joining a World of Warcraft Guild to the future.

For the 134th edition of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable Podcast, Dave and I take a break from our regular schedule program.

As everyone knows, Covid-19 has turned the world on its head. Now, many of you probably don’t know, but Dave and I are close to 100% remote when we work. On this episode, we discuss our setups as well as some best practices that we have worked out for our working lives whilst remote.

In Episode 133 of the Kaspersky podcast, Dave and Jeff look at the digital impact of the Corona virus (aka, Covid-19). They also look at the recent apprehension of a spam call centre owner and also see how Australia is looking at legal action against Facebook for the (not so) recent Cambridge Analytica data breach.
