In the latest episode of Nerd Out, in which Dave continues to fumble with the introduction, Joe Levy and Bridget Johnson join to talk about a smooth election day, but what could be a long, tense post-election period that will be filled with recounts, and legal challenges. As she normally does, Bridget brought in the “cheer” of how extremists are viewing the results and how it could still be used for future attacks. Joe then took a look at venue security and how organizations should be more accustomed to being prepared for these type of events. Even so, as we move into the holidays there are several challenges facing organizations to include staffing shortages as well as challenges with experience levels. Then they wrapped up the pod with a fun “holiday food draft” where the Nerds went through their favorite holiday dishes and drinks.
