my one gripe, if it can be called a gripe, is that the episodes are more often than not hard to follow due to the complex topic/length.

Looking thru the feed, 8/10 of the recent casts I've listened to are only about 1/4 the way thru before I had to go into work, answer a call, etc. Then it's too hard to get back into, and two more eps have been released by the time I get another itch for DD.

Of course, real life is complicated and isn't a movie with a plot, and DD's format rewards knowledge and listening. More of a "doing dishes" podcast. Highly recommend!

Short-form security podcasts are a dime a dozen though, and they usually fail to gain traction because Sec is a nuanced technical/social topic that doesn’t get covered in 20 mins. DD is very popular, IMO, because it handles this well by longer episodes.
