Customer Reviews
Enjoyable but be aware of host bias
I’ve been listening to 9to5mac happy hour for a long time. The hosts do a great job and are fun to listen to if you like to geek out on Apple stuff. Just know going in that Zac (not Benjamin) is a super passionate Apple fanboy who has blinders on most of time.
Apple Products
Ummmm the name of the podcast is “9to5Mac” which is the first clue that the podcast is about Apple products.
I love the in-depth coverage Zach and Ben give us. I learn so much from you guys. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Just awesome
I have been listening to podcasts for a long time now and I have been back and forth with this podcast. From what I have heard the past 2 or 3 episodes have me now keeping me subscribed and not bailing out on unsubscribing! Keep it up guys and love the great stuff on technology!!!!
