[edit] Re. links on Security Now!
Yes, links to internal Wikipedia articles are always preferred over links to external sites. A mere list with URLs to external sites provides little information. To be encyclopedic, it should have information such as when Steve suggested it, why the provide is so good, what it does, how it was relevant to what Steve and Leo were discussing, and so on. The episode list *sort of* serves this purpose in that it describes the products that are discussed in each podcast and occasionally has an external link.
That's basically why I removed it, but come to think of it if could be presented in a more pleasing format with a little more background (e.g. what it does, why it was chosen by Steve etc) then I'd have absolutely no objections to a new section in the article.
But that said, it's not just up to me and I don't own the article, so feel free to add it back in if you want and I'll try and do some work on it when I have the time, it's just that it didn't really seem encyclopedic to me at the time. If you want, it would probably be useful to add a short note to the talk page as well to see what other editors think.
