It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?
Maybe not what you’re looking for, but Security Now! seems to fit that bill. TWiT has a bunch of other shows as well, covering a range of topics. I can honestly say I’ve never encountered any bigoted hosts or guests on the shows I’ve listened to.
Agree completely about Security Now - I’ve been listening since the beginning (like 15+ years now?) and I honestly don’t remember Steve Gibson saying much political stuff. Leo is obviously pretty liberal, but he normally keeps a lid on anything political as well, unless it is tech industry specific. (Full disclosure - I am fairly liberal so maybe I’m oblivious)
It is quite good but anyone new to the show should know Steve plans to retire from the show after I think he said 999 or 1000. That’s a little over a year from now. Hopefully they’ll get someone capable to fill in.

They do sometimes get on the weirdest not-security-related rants. Like a number of shows a few years back talking about melatonin.
Not a deal breaker IMO, just consider not taking medical advice from a computer security podcast. :)
