I always learn something new from every episode

Great podcast, I have been listening for years and I like how I still learn something new from every podcast. Keep up the great work guys

Top notch practical tips and recommendations.

These guys know what they are talking about and make excellent recommendations based on their experiences without playing to their advertisers. These are real world recommendations that ordinary Mac users can benefit from. Too many choices on AppStore or elsewhere? Hear what these guys say and go with that. Chances are their choice matches your needs pretty much exactly. And they explain why so you can modify the conclusion to suit your particular situation. Brilliant. That is my ordinary average user experience.

So much reverb it’s almost unlistenable

This podcast is not what it used to be. Content still has its moments, but the audio is not great. David Sparks sounds like he is recording in the world’s largest bathroom
