Data protection is far from one-dimensional and here we try to widen the conversations in interesting and accessible ways.
Our podcasts give you another way of accessing informative, thought-provoking, and hopefully entertaining insights to a broad range of topics relevant to data protection.

Innovation and trust
In March 2026, the ODPA contributed to the INSO Guernsey Innovation Report, an independent and in-depth analysis of how Guernsey can remain competitive in a fast-changing world. As a data protection authority, we believe strong data protection is essential to innovation, not a barrier to it.
In this podcast episode, Commissioner Brent Homan speaks with INSO founders Dan Wood and Alex Bezuidenhout about the report's key findings, why effective data protection helps innovation succeed, and how Guernsey's future prosperity depends on innovation built on trust.
Privacy Across Time & Space
It is people, not laws, that drive privacy. What about privacy makes it universal across the world and throughout history? How do non-Western societies demonstrate how individuals, communities and civilizations instinctively cherish privacy? How did the Ancient Romans solve universal and timeless privacy problems around maintaining and verifying identity?
This podcast series, Privacy Across Time and Space, was inspired by a panel discussion at the Venice Privacy Symposium in May 2025. In it we hear from global privacy leaders Alex White (Privacy Commissioner, Bermuda PrivCom), Alexandra Delaney Bhattacharya (Isle of Man Information Commissioner) and Shana Morgan (Global Head of AI, L3Harris Tech). as they share inspiring stories of privacy as both an inalienable right and a practical solution that transcends global, political, and socio-economic boundaries.
Data, Democracy & Freedom
The series examines:
- how people’s information can be weaponized to undermine elections and democracy.
- how to preserve civil liberties and strike the right balance between national security/program delivery and upholding privacy rights.
- how technology may be influencing our freedom of thought and expression
