Customer Reviews
Good podcast
This is a good podcast but too Mac-centric… iPad, for example, is always the underdog here and looked down as a productivity tool…
Subscriber Edition playing ads?
I love the podcast and want to support it, hence why I have a paid subscription…but why do all the episodes still play with ads? Please help!!
A highlight of my week!
Keep up the great work! I love the hosts’ dynamic on this show. It brings a good balance to the topics discussed.
