Never miss it

Great Apple-focussed tech podcast which is informative and fun, yet doesn’t shy away from wider issues. Haven’t missed an episode since it started.

Informative and fun

A great podcast, with excellent chemistry between and knowledge from the hosts. I never miss an episode.

I’d say it’s a little more serious than connected (japes!) and less serious than eg Mac power users.

One of the best tech podcasts

A great fusion of technology and discussion following the apple ecosystem and related technologies alongside competition. Well worth a listen.
