    No Brainer
    If you car about tech security, this is a no brainer. I mean, seriously, it’s Ken Ray.
  • Darth Maum
    Essential
    Must-know information; Ken is on top of the most recent security issues and prioritizes intelligently and efficiently.
  • Realist-Photo
    This show makes me smart
    A great resource to keep the data for you and your family safe!
  • Gary the Apple fanboy
    Great content by an excellent presenter
    I have followed Ken for years and absolutely love his style. This show puts him into a technical field (as opposed to financial performance) -yawn- and he shines with this content. Tops on my playlist of podcasts.
  • DGH and Yeti
    Great advice on security
    Been listening to this podcast since it first started several years ago. Always good advice on how you can be secure when online. Every Apple user should listen to at least one episode and see if the podcast is for them.
  • @TheYechGuy
    Great Podcast
    This show brings me insight and joy thank you so much
  • Factory Rat
    You need to know this
    You only feel safe online because you don’t know the threats. This will make you aware and will tell you how to deal with scams.
  • Manhattan Glen
    Great advice!!
    Key Ray, is one to the best when it comes to Apply and Tech and his advice on security is well stated.
  • Volunteer Listener
    281 - Anastasia Shuba - great interview with understandable insights
    Timely, thanks
  • Hamster Calhoon
    Timely practical discussions, How To’s, and a good listen
    Big fan of “The Checklist by SecureMac” podcast and Ken Ray and his guests. This podcast is very informative and relevant to the layman consumer with practical information well reported, including step by step procedures where appropriate. I also enjoy listening to veteran podcaster, Ken Ray’s other podcasts, “Mac OS Ken” and “In a Few Minutes”. Ken has great rapport with his audience; a good sense of humor, and produces a quality professional podcast experience. A bonus for me is the growing music playlist I’ve created from sampling his great transition music. Great job Ken!
  • chriseldred
    Fun security podcast that doesn’t get too technical.
    This is a very good show about basic Mac/iOS security. The guests are good or sometimes the host is on their own. The show is good for everyone. It doesn’t get too technical. Keep up the good work!
  • Mimou Stamopolous.
    What is needed!
    This is needed badly considering so many people from all over are now attempting and sometimes succeeding in hacking Mac"s.
