Customer Reviews
Constant listener...
... but why is it taking so long for the weekly podcast to get online on Apple podcasts. It’s not even there by Friday morning, but recorded well before that. Or do I have that wrong? Otherwise 5 stars +
In any case, as a sidelight, been pretty cool over the past 4 years or so to tag along with the two guys as they progress through young adulthood!
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.
3 stars for Benjamin and where’d chapter support go?
Benjamin is quite good at giving realistic Apple reviews. He’s good at calling out dumb decisions by Apple and giving props when deserved. Zac feels more like an Apple spokesman and it grows tiresome.
Also, where did chapter support go? Used to be so helpful to only listen to topics I care about. Now you have no idea and just have to randomly bounce around in the episode. Why was this removed? My guess is advertising requested to remove.
