ITSPmagazine Europe: The Transatlantic Broadcast

Where cybersecurity, technology, and society meet — across borders and perspectives.

About the Show

The Transatlantic Broadcast is the flagship podcast of ITSPmagazine Europe — a new editorial initiative dedicated to cybersecurity, technology, and society through a distinctly European lens.

Hosted by Marco Ciappelli, Sean Martin, and Rob Black — and recorded between Florence, London, Los Angeles, and beyond — the show explores the stories, policies, and people shaping digital life across Europe. With our rotating host format and guests from academia, public policy, private sector, and civil society, we highlight European perspectives while drawing occasional comparisons to developments in the U.S. and beyond.

What We Explore

In our rotating host format, we dive deep into the stories, policies, and people shaping digital life across Europe:

  • European Digital Sovereignty: How Europe approaches data protection, AI regulation, and tech governance

  • Cybersecurity Across the Continent: Examining European approaches to digital security, privacy, and risk

  • Technology & European Society: The sociological impact of digital transformation on European communities, work, and culture

  • European Policy & Innovation: How regulation shapes innovation across the continent

  • The Human Element: Stories of Europeans building, securing, and living within our digital infrastructure

Our Approach

We believe technology is never just about technology. Every digital decision reflects cultural values, political priorities, and social assumptions. Through conversations with guests from academia, public policy, private sector, and civil society, we explore these dimensions and many more.

Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we compare. But we always explore.

Our discussions acknowledge that Europe offers diverse approaches to technology challenges. Each region brings distinct cultural perspectives, regulatory philosophies, and innovation traditions that shape how technology develops and integrates into society. By bringing these European viewpoints into dialogue, with occasional transatlantic context, we create a richer understanding of Europe's digital future.

Featured Topics & Guests

Upcoming discussions include:

  • European AI regulation and its global impact

  • Cybersecurity workforce development across continents

  • Digital rights activism in different political contexts

  • The sociology of remote work and digital collaboration

  • Critical infrastructure protection: national vs. international approaches

  • And more

Our guest list spans academics, policymakers, industry leaders, civil society advocates, and the technologists building tomorrow's digital world.
