Good show

I still enjoy John Gruber's talk show since it moved... it's mostly speculation but has very interesting discussions about Apple's evolution, design goals, the products.. But for the love of God please don't invite Merlin Mann... the 8th episode is the worst. This guy talks about everything and nothing, but mostly nothing.

Not objective

The host isn't objective and sounds like a walking ad for Apple. He even mentions Apple products the exact way Apple tells him to mention them, leaving out "the" or "an". For example he will say "when I use iPhone" and not "when I use my/an iPhone". I don't know but the iPhone is not a person...

Obnoxious

I don’t know if the tone of the show changed or if I did. But now it feels like an obnoxious guy listening to himself speak. A rant-a-palooza. For some reason he gets to invite interesting people, who might get the chance to speak 5 minutes per 2 hour episode.
