Darknet Diaries is wonderful podcast overall and very entertaining to me.

The latest two part episodes of Gollumfun #128 and #129 were great. He interviews 'Gollumfun' who was one of the biggest players in the online underground. His story is just wild!

The stuxnet one blew my mind. All these US departments coming together secretly to knee-cap Iran’s nuclear program.
