  • After the Breach Notice Comes the Lawsuit - Ep 542
    Jan 9 2026

    Ever wonder what happens when patient record requests are ignored, invoices go wild, and cybersecurity takes a coffee break? Spoiler: it ends with lawsuits, settlements, and a whole lot of legal back-and-forth. In this episode, we unpack a right of access case that dragged on longer than a season of courtroom drama, and then dive into the spaghetti mess of post-breach chaos - where class action lawsuits spring up like mushrooms and documentation (or lack thereof) can make or break you. If you thought the breach was the worst part… oh honey, it's just getting started.

We're talking AI governance, backup strategies that actually work (yes, tested ones), and why you should absolutely know if your vendor quietly stopped signing BAAs. Buckle up—it's a 2026 survival guide with fewer guesses and more "you got this."

  • 2025 Holiday Blooper Show
    Dec 26 2025

    It's that time of year again where audio perfection goes to die and chaos reigns supreme! In this special episode, we celebrate ten years of podcasting excellence by showcasing the exact opposite: dogs with digestive drama, countdowns that never count down quite right, rogue microphones, clumsy kitchen accidents, and travel mics that seem personally offended by their own existence.

    Expect Donna's thumb to take a hit (thanks, chef's knife), David to escape suspicion of living off the grid, and Bojan to quietly question all his life choices while trying to make this circus sound good from across the ocean.
