EFFector

Booking Overview

This is a biweekly digital-rights interview podcast focused on online privacy, surveillance, free speech, and internet policy, typically featuring Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyers, activists, technologists, and policy specialists. Agencies could credibly pitch privacy attorneys, civil-liberties advocates, surveillance researchers, data-protection technologists, and internet-policy experts with relevant subject-matter expertise; booking difficulty is medium because the show strongly prioritizes mission-aligned specialists over general-interest or celebrity guests.
