I've posted Security Now! Episode 11.
Records live every Tuesday at 4:30pm Eastern / 1:30pm Pacific / 20:30 UTC.
In this episode Steve debunks three popular forms of Wi-Fi security: MAC address filtering, WEP encryption, and SSID hiding. He explains why none of these are effective security except against casual snoops. If you're responsible for protecting a Wi-Fi access point, this is a must listen podcast.
