Big fan of Seattle's Tarah Wheeler... I greatly appreciate her focus on the small and medium business community, who in many ways are an afterthought for the cybersecurity industry.

Hey thecatfix​​! We don’t currently share specific listenership numbers publicly, but Random but Memorable has built a really passionate audience over the years — made up of both 1Password users and the broader security and tech community.
That said, hearing directly from 1Password users like you is super important to us, and helps make sure we’re creating content that feels valuable and relevant.
You’re also spot on that a lot of folks love the practical advice from the Ask 1Password segments. While the show usually leans into broader security conversations, we’re definitely paying close attention to the appetite for more productivity-focused content and everyday tips.
As it happens, we just opened a thread here in the Community (and on Reddit!) asking for listener questions for an upcoming World Password Day special episode!
If you have any questions about passwords, passkeys, 2FA — or just how to stay safer online — we’d love for you to jump in and help shape the conversation!

Having Anna say "lets drop this in here" was a fun end to her resistance of Roo saying that 😊

I have the same problem as Matt with needing to edit .community back to .com (every.single.time) to get where I want to go - and I also find it annoying. I have some proposals: 1) rename the site 1password.com/community or 2) put a link on the community site to go back to 1Password.com - maybe somewhere in that top banner? 3) even if you just link 1password.com/community to the site at least I could stop typing the community and maybe my browser would catch on eventually (right now that fairly obvious /community serves up a 404 page.🤨

This was a great interview - and as always I learned things. I had no idea that MSP did security work for hire. The advise to do a little bit every day is great for so many tasks in life!

Haha! I swallowed my pride and introduced the segment how Roo would have wanted me to. Hopefully I made him proud!

That's helpful feedback regarding visiting 1Password Community and 1password.com. Let me pass this feedback onto our wider team so they are aware it's an issue for others too.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed hearing from Tarah Wheeler! I also loved the advice she gave around turning security tasks into bite-sized chunks and to tick off something small each day. I was impressed by her depth of knowledge around the current landscape of small business. Particularly some of the stats she effortlessly presented, when I struggle to remember what I ate for dinner last night. 😄

Definitely! Especially considering the stats Tarah shares regarding the number or small-to-medium sized businesses out there.&nbsp;
