Customer Reviews
They think about it
I have listened to this podcast for a little while now, but have not thought about doing a review. But the latest podcast (113) I listened to made me do the review.
These guys think about what they are saying from just not the Apple centric view, and they DON'T RANT and RAVE because what they think is right and Apple are not doing what they want. An island in a see of Apple Fan boys.
One of the podcasts I never miss.
The Mac Observer gang are maybe not always the most organised when it comes to producing this podcast but they are always sincere in their attempts to engage with technology from an Apple user perspective and in their attempts to examine the effects of technology on society and our daily lives.
Best informed, entertaining, in-depth audio discussion of Apple-centric current affairs
For the best informed, entertaining, in-depth audio discussion of Apple-centric current affairs, Bryan and Jeff are top men. With their long-term experience of Apple / Mac / iOS device universe, they provide deeper insights into key events of the week. And they do this with passion leavened with dry wit and droll good humour, so that their company is welcome. Occasional foul-ups by the two long-term interns, Ashley/Ainsley and Sierra/Sienna (in-joke), fail to tarnish the quality of this thinking-person’s tech discussion show.
