Our protagonists, Cameron Banga and Jon Becker, are Apple Watch enthusiasts. After a year of watch ownership, both agree that there is a gap in the market for a very specific type of watch band. In this podcast, Cameron and Jon will discuss their experiences as they source different watch bands from a variety of manufacturers, in an attempt to create a product they can sell on the internet.

Episode 15: This Entire Episode Was Edited on an iPad
In this episode, Cameron decided to pay $20 for the full In App Purchase inside of Ferrite for iPad, so that he could edit the entire episode on iPad.
The results are a mixed bag. And we apologize for Cameron falling off the podcast for a thirty second interval or two. Also, our favorite part is at approximately the 45:20 mark. -

Customer Reviews
The un-talked about part of tech
Really interesting hearing a discussion about the process of manufacturing from literally step 1. Fascinating process, and the hosts are great!
I'm a co-host, so I'm biased, BUT
Yes, I help create this show. So I am biased.
However, I listen to a lot of podcasts. Probably 8-12 hours of Apple related podcasts per week. That's a lot.
I made this show because I wanted to listen to it. There are many shows about Apple. But I can't think of any that tackle a unique topic like this. So I think it's worth a listen, and hope you enjoy it.
Looking forward to following along.
Like listening to two of your super smart and funny friends talk about tech pop culture and the supply side of manufacturing. Good for a giggle.
