Podcast provides unique media perspectives from the top technology and cybersecurity reporters 

MCLEAN, Va., January 13, 2026 – Today, W2 Communications, leading marketing and strategic communications agency, announced the launch of the Inside the Media Minds podcast on the N2K CyberWire network, the leading B2B media network providing concise intelligence-driven news and industry commentary.

Since its start in 2018, Inside the Media Minds offers an inside look at the inner workings of the technology media landscape through candid conversations with hosts, Christine Blake and Madison Farabaugh. The podcast provides listeners with direct access to what’s top of mind for journalists on the frontlines of the technology industry, including insights into major tech topics, current events, tips for smarter storytelling and how to cut through the noise. This partnership with N2K CyberWire will allow the podcast to expand its reach, deepening its connection to audiences interested in the intersection of technology and media. 

“Joining the N2K CyberWire network marks an exciting new chapter for Inside the Media Minds,” said Host and Executive Producer, Christine Blake. “I’ve always admired N2K CyberWire for their ability to provide important industry insights in a smart and entertaining way. We’re thrilled to partner with them to strengthen our connection with listeners and elevate our conversations with the reporters who shape the narratives.”

After more than seven years and 100 episodes, Inside the Media Minds has featured influential journalists across broadcast, radio and print. The conversations have evolved from cloud security, GDPR, privacy and data breaches, to the COVID pandemic, remote/hybrid work, ransomware, election security, critical infrastructure concerns – and now, how the industry is working and adapting to AI. 

“We’re proud to welcome Inside the Media Minds to the N2K CyberWire network,” said Peter Kilpe, Chief Executive Officer of N2K Networks. “Their perspective on how technology stories are shaped and shared adds depth to our mission of delivering curated, high-impact content that helps leaders stay informed and ahead of the curve.”

The first episode of Inside the Media Minds on the N2K CyberWire network features CIO Dive’s Roberto Torres and is available now on the N2K CyberWire website and wherever you get your favorite shows.
