## What it is

A Digital Identity Digest is a weekly solo show from Heather Flanagan of Spherical Cow Consulting, each episode an audio version of one of her essays. Its stated aim is to "translate geek to human" on digital identity on the web. Episodes run about 12 minutes and cover how standards bodies actually work, [verifiable credentials](https://startwithidentity.com/standards/verifiable-credentials/) and wallets moving from pilots into use, verifier interoperability, and browser-level identity changes.

## Who it suits

Anyone who wants to understand identity standards without reading the specs: product managers, policy people, and engineers new to the standards world. Short enough for a commute.

## Editor note

The best entry point in this directory for the standards side of identity, from someone who has chaired and edited in those groups for years. Because each episode is a single essay, it is commentary rather than a debate; pair it with [Identity at the Center](https://startwithidentity.com/podcasts/identity-at-the-center/) for interviews. Her episode on how the FIDO Alliance's working groups operate is on our [passkeys path](https://startwithidentity.com/podcasts/learn/passkeys-fido/).
