Customer Reviews
Informed punditry and great guests
As a listener to various Apple related podcasts, The Talk Show and ATP are my go-to podcasts for in-depth analysis and critique. I know John has been accused of siding with Apple too often in the past. Whether intentional or not, I think the show has been far better balanced in the last 6 months.
The segments about sport always prompt a skip but I don’t think this is any reason for them not to be in there - some people will enjoy them.
I do think some points get laboured a little. Discussions so often get side-tracked because of unnecessary comparisons and analogies.
Keep up the great work though. The guests are always really interesting!
Needs to be shorter and more focussed.
Great stuff but please keep it focussed. I’m nit interested in the overly long blurb about American sports etc. Please tighten up editing and keep focussed.
Depends on the guest
It's the guests that really make the show worth listening to. Some episodes are gold and some are worth skipping - it depends who's on. For someone that spends their life devoted to Apple, the host seems forgetful and unknowledgeable about many more recent goings on in the Apple world and often has to have his guests refresh his memory. It's sometimes like he presses record on the podcast without even doing minor research about the things he's going to discuss. I suppose it's funny in some ways and odd in others. Every episode is er...er...er...you know...er...er...you know...er...you know...er...er...I forget what it's called...er...you know.
