Re: [OAUTH-WG] New podcast on identity specifications

[Vladimir Dzhuvinov <[e-mail]>]

The mTLS vs DPoP was good in articulating how the two specs are alike,
how they differ and which particular type of app they are meant to serve.

I'm saying this as a person who is generally allergic to technical
podcasts :)

Maybe every RFC that comes out of this WG should have a podcast link at
the top, where the authors discuss it in simple, honest and non-speccy
terms, because that's often how people are best able to perceive the
spirit and subtleties of some technical or spec work.
