Hey it's Jack. I'm taking a break in Quarter 1. Like all of Q1. As a supporter, I want you to know first. I don't have any episodes planned for January, February, or March of 2023. I’ll pick back up in April with monthly episodes.
Make no mistake – the show is doing well, thanks to your support! We've had a stellar run so far, and there's so much more I want to make.
But why, Jack, WHY!?

I’m excited to bring you this story - what happens when an employee notices a vulnerability, reports it, and waits in silence.
Thank you for the support. It means so much to me. It's challenging to run the show, and you keep me going!
While this is the last bonus episode I plan to publish (more details in the audio), you will still get ad free versions of the show as a Patreon supporter or Premium Apple Podcasts subscr...

Hi everyone,
I hope you're doing well. This year has wrecked my routine and some of my goals. I feel bad for not delivering more bonus content to you. You've certainly helped me, and I want to help you through this crazy time. I'm starting to get ahead now and you should expect a bonus episode in the next few weeks. I've also been coming up with new ideas to get more bonus episodes out. And with your help, I've started working with more writers, researchers, sound desig...

Wow! Together we have reached the goal of $2,000 a month. I am totally blown away by this. But with this, it enables me to start getting some help to make the show. Which will result in some bonus episodes for Patreon supporters. I will be releasing bonus episodes periodically but I don't know how often yet. Hopefully monthly!
Here is the first bonus episode: "Wes".

2019-02-11 23:20:58 +0000 UTC View PostA few of the episodes you've heard on Darknet Diaries were because fans brought the story to me. These make some of the best stories because fans know what would be a good fit for the show. If you have a personal hacking experience you've been through that could be an interesting episode, please reach out! Or if you come across any interesting articles you think would make a good episode, please post them below. Thanks!
2018-09-05 21:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostHave you listened to any episodes of Darknet Diaries more than once? If so which ones? I'm also wondering if there was a time when you were listening and got so into the story that you had to stop what you were doing. If so what episode or part was it?
