Sometimes we do stuff online that we would never do in person. Like dashing off comments we wouldn’t say to someone’s face. Or being reckless with our safety and our secrets. Or signing away our rights without a glance at the fine print. But the fact is, “online vs. offline” is a false distinction. We only have one life, and we live it both online and offline.

Dive into the disconnect in Mozilla’s new podcast series, IRL (Internet slang for “in real life”). Host Veronica Belmont shares stories from the wilds of the web and real talk about online issues that affect us every day. In the first episode, All Your Data Are Belong to Us, she talks with a private investigator, a data broker, a guy who claims his headphones secretly spied on him and more. What’s their take on your data privacy? Tune in and find out.
