In this episode, Michael talks to Nic Fillingham about the recent Microsoft Bluehat Security conference held at the Microsoft HQ in Redmond, WA. We also discuss how to tell the NZ and Australian accents apart. This alone is worth listening to :)

This is a follow-on from episode 103 when we talked about what was coming up for Bluehat.

No news, as this is a special, smaller episode. It's also the least edited; other than some ums and ers getting removed and a small retake, the result is as was recorded. Let us know what you think, this feels a little more 'chatty' and personable.
