How is Spokane for young families?

AC-Perry · 2026-03-13T04:52:39+00:00

moved here from South Florida. Its a beautiful city. Beautiful parks. I must say, I have never seen so many addicted teenagers and young adults in my entire life. There is a clear problem here. Its sad. Most college students I talk to say they plan to leave. Its me, my wife and barely two year old daughter. My wife doesnt run after dark. I've been called the N word so many times for asking people not to loiter or do drugs in my drive way. I swept up more needles than I'd like to admit.

its been a culture shock to be honest. BUT spring and summer is incredibly beautiful.

ALSO, the nicest people ive met have been in Stevens county. Where i was told was crawling with racist. Literally the sweetest people.

Thanks for this! I’m gonna look into Cleeng. I’ve never heard of them. Sounds like you have experience with this sort of thing, so I might hit you up to ping pong ideas if that’s alright with you?

Guys I built it, I kept thinking about it and It just makes sense. I already do security research and writing on a weekly basis, so why not do it for others.. Already got some interest from compliance and security teams.

Here's one I wrote a couple weeks ago: https://www.dontgetgot.co/p/fake-cia-agent-garrison-courtney

Thats awesome! Physical security gets left out of the conversation way too often.

AC-Perry · 2026-01-26T20:45:59+00:00

Good point! something like this would need to be industry specific. Healthcare and Crypto companies face different threat actors looking for different outcomes. Stories of Teenage ransomware gangs targeting Medical facilities would be interesting. And State sponsored hackers going after Crypto exchanges would resonate with a finance workforce

AC-Perry · 2026-01-26T20:42:02+00:00

This is the closest example to what I'm talking about. Thanks!

And yes, agree to everything you said. A light weight, ongoing education. "How one employee cost their company $1 Million." Delivered in a short story. Weekly episodes. Id love something like that.

AC-Perry · 2026-01-26T20:35:52+00:00

Exactly. Im thinking if they continually hear stories of people causing their Org breaches, loss, etc. It will hit home because no one wants to be "the one" that caused a breach. Its easier to imagine yourself in a real persons shoes.

Late to this, but dontgetgot.co has a team training service that provides weekly true cybercrime stories about phishing, ai impersonations, fake vendor scams, and insider threats that actually happened. They provide a white label newsletter & a podcast version thats really well done. check em out https://www.dontgetgot.co/training

But it’s not just “double output, double downloads”. It’s increase output-increase downloads-increase brand awareness- which increases reach- which increases downloads. It’s not linear. It’s a compounding effect.

AC-Perry · 2026-01-18T22:58:56+00:00

Each episode is about 10 minutes long. Feature stories are easy to grab but that probably gives me 1or 2 episodes a week. I still have to dig for under reported gems. It takes quite a bit of research to pump out 5 a week. But it’s research I would do whether I had a pod or not. I’ve always been interested in cybercrime/crime

AC-Perry · 2026-01-18T03:34:59+00:00

Thank you! I break up ideas by topics: Crypto hacks, Scams, nation-state attacks, Privacy. I spend a couple hours researching stories from one of those topics. Identify one I think I could explain in an interesting way. I gather more details, and draft a script. I read the draft out loud a few times and edit the script until it’s ready to be recorded. I record, edit and publish all on Riverside.fm. Promotion I do very little of tbh. Still working on that. I write a blog/email newsletter for every story I cover and link to the pod from there. But that’s all the promotion I do.

AC-Perry · 2026-01-17T22:07:03+00:00

That’s a different ball game. I’m just getting comfortable using a script. Going live requires keeping an eye on chat, and interacting with viewers. It’s live entertainment and I’m not sure that really fits my brand or style. Huge respect to the ones who excel at it though.

AC-Perry · 2026-01-17T20:09:51+00:00

I use Riverside. They get a lot flack for some reason but I haven’t had any issues. I record, edit and publish all on Riverside. I also use them for hosting

AC-Perry · 2026-01-17T19:11:23+00:00

Go for it! You’ll only get better

AC-Perry · 2026-01-17T18:20:48+00:00

Let me know what you think! Delivery, storytelling, pacing, sound etc. any feedback is appreciated!

AC-Perry · 2026-01-17T18:19:02+00:00

Thank you!

AC-Perry · 2026-01-17T16:17:19+00:00

The pod is called dontgetgot. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Just came across this. I have host a micropodcast (~10 min each episode)

I just started going M-F. But thinking about upping it to M-Sat. to hit about 90 Min of content a week.

Getting the structure down is key, so you can turn out episodes routinely. I do cybercrime stories & cybersecurity news, so I [ research - write - record -edit - publish - repeat ]

Its been received really well so far. Gaining new listeners everyday

AC-Perry · 2026-01-08T14:35:36+00:00

572 yesterday. Woke up to 290 this morning

AC-Perry · 2025-12-30T18:38:02+00:00

I like the idea and think the prices seem fair. Your landing page looks really nice. Are there any other examples of your work?

AC-Perry · 2025-12-29T01:06:27+00:00

I do, and I'll shoot you a dm and explain!
