These days, it’s easier to ask who doesn’t have a podcast than to ask who does. You can now take the National Security Agency (NSA) off of the former list. The agency this week announced the launch of its own podcast, No Such Podcast.

The title is a nod to the unofficial nickname of the NSA, No Such Agency, from when it was considered so top secret that even its existence was classified. No Such Podcast hopes to shine a light on this formerly secretive agency and the important role it plays (though some of its operations are still too sensitive to discuss). The first two episodes — one on cybersecurity and one on the agency’s role in finding Osama Bin Laden — are available now.

“NSA is known as home to the world’s greatest codemakers and codebreakers — their stories are now being decoded,” the agency said. It aims to use the podcast to bring “people to the table from across the agency to discuss our role as a combat support agency, our foreign signals intelligence and cybersecurity missions, and so much more.”
