Identity Podcasts
The identity and access management shows worth your commute, with the facts a scraped directory leaves out: who publishes each one, which vendor pays for it, what level it is pitched at, and whether it is still publishing. Status comes from each show's own feed and updates weekly; every profile also carries the date its facts were last checked by hand.
No show pays to be listed here and vendor-run shows sit alongside independent ones, labelled as such. Want episodes rather than shows? The learning paths order the best episodes on a topic from basics to advanced, each linked to our standards and glossary pages.
Short weekly episodes from standards veteran Heather Flanagan that "translate geek to human" on identity standards, wallets, and the web platform.
The longest-running weekly show on identity and access management programs, hosted by two practitioners. The best single feed for keeping up with the field.
A weekly show from trade outlet Biometric Update that explains biometrics and digital identity news to a general audience. Short and accessible.

How shows get listed
A show qualifies when identity is its main subject, not an occasional guest topic. Before a profile goes up we read the feed and recent episode notes, and check the hosts and publisher against primary sources such as the publisher's own pages. Vendor ties are disclosed on every profile, including sponsored episodes inside independent shows. Ended shows stay as archive entries when their back catalogue still teaches well.
