## What it is

The Biometric Update Podcast is published by Biometric Update, a trade news outlet, and launched in April 2025. Its stated aim is to bridge industry insiders and a general-interest audience. Episodes cover age assurance, digital ID programs, [verifiable credentials](https://startwithidentity.com/standards/verifiable-credentials/) for organisations, passkey adoption, and how AI agents can be held accountable. Recent guests include FIDO Alliance chief executive [Andrew Shikiar](https://startwithidentity.com/experts/andrew-shikiar/) and GLEIF chief executive Alexandre Kech.

## Who it suits

Newcomers to biometrics and digital identity, policy and product people, and anyone who wants the week's ID news explained rather than listed.

## Editor note

The most accessible show in this directory: short episodes, plain language, and a newsroom's sense of what matters this week. That makes it a good first listen. Depth varies with the guest, and it covers government ID and biometrics far more than enterprise access management.
