Interesting episode of a podcast I love (although it's more targeted to technologically interested but not too knowledgeable people).

I don't think they ever mentioned TrueCrypt in the episode.

I came here to say this, I listened to this episode but didn't realized it was related to TrueCrypt until now.

Him being behind TrueCrypt is only speculation. There is no proof that it was him, and he denies it himself. There's only some limited circumstantial evidence.

Yes, he is an alleged TrueCrypt author. What's for sure, is that he was the author of E4M, upon which source code TrueCrypt was initially based, according to the same wikipedia page:
