This is the one podcast on the whole of the internet of which I genuinely NEVER miss an episode. David and Stephen are great hosts and produce interesting, useful content every week. I feel like I’m in the company of some wonderfully geeky friends when I’m listening to Mac Power Users :)

The MacPowerUsers is an excellent podcast. It goes beyond merely tech and talks about productivity and even life skills. I started listening when the podcast discussed the iPad only workflow. I was hooked. Their back catalog and subsequent episode cover wide ranging topics. Their episode on journaling, for example, was absolutely wonderful. So many of these tech podcasts are full of hubris and self importance. David and Stephen, on the other hand, are so wonderfully grounded but offer real, practical, advice. Their positivity is infectious. Thank you for making this podcast. I really value your hard work.
Great podcast for all Mac users.
