The Story Behind the Podcast
Data Protection Made Easy was born out of necessity during the early days of the pandemic. At that time, our team at Data Protection People (DPP) had built a strong reputation through in-person workshops, audits, and training sessions. But when face-to-face meetings became impossible, we knew we needed to create something equally valuable and even more accessible.
The podcast began as a series of informal online seminars designed to keep clients and colleagues informed about changes in legislation, common pitfalls, and emerging data protection challenges. These early sessions were conversational and inclusive, creating a relaxed but professional environment where listeners could ask questions and share insights. Before long, the format evolved. It became a fully-fledged podcast, free to listen to, free to join, and free from sales messaging.
Our mission was simple: to make data protection easy to understand, practical to apply, and accessible to all. We wanted to simply GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, PECR, and other regulations by creating a space where people could speak freely, challenge ideas, and learn from each other.
What Makes It Different
Unlike traditional webinars or corporate podcasts, the Data Protection Made Easy Podcast is designed to feel human. Each session is unscripted, authentic, and focused on real-world issues. We don’t just lecture, we talk, we debate, and we invite our audience to take part. Episodes cover everything from subject access requests to international data transfers, and from artificial intelligence to managing breaches.
Because of its open, friendly format and the quality of our contributors, the podcast has grown far beyond our expectations. Today, it is consistently ranked as the number one data protection podcast in the UK and is streamed on all major audio platforms worldwide.
A Thriving Community
The success of the podcast lies in its community. More than 1,500 professionals are now part of the Data Protection Made Easy network. This includes experienced DPOs, public sector leaders, private sector professionals, students, and early-career privacy enthusiasts. Many members actively share job opportunities, offer feedback, and exchange knowledge through our private LinkedIn group and live sessions.
Subscribers receive weekly invites to attend live recordings, which take place every Friday at lunchtime. These live sessions include Q&A opportunities, visual prompts, polls, and breakout chats that make the experience interactive and inclusive. Members also gain access to exclusive whitepapers, early event registration, and our monthly newsletter packed with industry news and practical tips.
