087: Harlo Holmes

Harlo Holmes is someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for a long time. I first heard about her work when she was a research fellow with The Guardian Project, and now she’s a digital security trainer with the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Throughout her career, Harlo has been solving all the puzzles that new media presents in a number of different ways as a software developer, media scholar, and activist.

We started off talking about her past and current work, which then segued into a great discussion about metadata, the Internet of Things, and some of the current and new problems that we’re all facing with data security as we live in a digitally-connected world. Harlo is definitely someone you’ll hear more about in the future, and I’m super stoked to have her come on the show.
