Customer Reviews
Great Apple punditry
THe strength of Upgrade compared with other Apple podcasts are the different segments and special shows. Upstream is always really interesting and I do love the event drafts.
It would nice to have a special guest on every now and again to get new perspectives.
Otherwise a great show with knowledgeable hosts, even if one is sadly losing his British accent (I die a little bit every time I hear “a bunch of” come out of a Brit’s mouth - completely my issue though. Myke is great!)
Probably the best Relay show
The description doesn't say it but this show is mostly about Apple and they even have drafts of Apple events but don't even mention any other tech events. It says it's about technology but it's mostly just Apple with a segment on streaming services. That said, it's probably the best Relay show as the pairing of the hosts actually go well together, unlike some of the other shows. It's a tight format, sometimes funny, and gets the job done. The segment called UpStream is good as it's interesting to keep up to date with lots of stuff in TV and movie streaming which can be hard to keep up with otherwise. A decent weekly listen.
Terrible Upgradies!
The 2019 Upgradies was probably the worst show I’ve heard all year. Not sure if it’s for fun or meant to be serious. Won’t be listening to that again!
