Customer Reviews
Mostly great
I always look forward to a new episode. Jon is an interesting, thoughtful voice in the tech sphere. I only skip episodes in which Merlin Mann or Marco Arment are guests, both of whom are insufferably full of themselves.
Great show
Insightful and thought through commentary on Apple and tech. Always glad to see a new episode land.
One of the best Apple Technology Podcasts
I thought I'd revisit my original review and update. It's been a number of years and Gruber has really refined his skills and has become one of the best interviewers/hosts in the podcast world. His insight into technology and Apple continues to be top-notch, and his picks for guests are generally very good.
--- original ---
Gruber has fantastic insight into the world of Apple and technology in general. He's just not a great host. When you're e guy with the best answers, you can't be the guy asking all the questions.
