Yesterday, on the eve of the 2006 RSA Conference, noted computer virus researcher Eugene Kaspersky stopped by InformationWeek's San Francisco office to chat about security issues. With him were Stephen Orenberg, president of Kaspersky Lab, Inc. in the U.S., and Olga Kobzareva, head of communications for the Kaspersky Lab in Moscow. He had some very interesting things to say.

I recorded the interview, intending to distribute it as a podcast. Unfortunately, the sound quality leaves something to be desired -- my Sony ICD-B7 digital audio recorder isn't exactly pro-leve gear.But this was the first time I had the opportunity to use Apple's new version of Garageband. It's a great podcast production tool. Note the bombastic news theme opening and (if you make it all the way through the 31 minute interview) the pleasant closing theme.

If I can just upgrade to a digital recorder with a decent mic, future podcasts should be much improved.
