MacBreak Weekly (Audio)

Would it be possible for Apple to fire Alex Lindsay and hire Andy Ihnatko instead? It’s the one person that Leo seems to let ramble on and on. If not for Andy, this would be a five star review.

This show has had some truly memorable panelists over the years. Alex Lindsay’s departure (for Apple) was the final straw. I agree with other reviewers who are tired of Andy. There’s good reason that Andy Ihnatko was flushed as a WGBH pundit. Andy talks over other panelists; his commentary is interesting only about 10% of the time. Christina Warren and Leo are OK but unremarkable. Jason Snell is the best of the bunch: a highly informed Apple pundit. OTOH, if you like his stuff, you might as well get it directly from Six Colors and the RelayFM Network podcasts. TWiT is one of the longest-running podcasts, but it’s time to send it to the glue factory. Sorry the show couldn’t be good forever.

Why are only the 10 most recent episodes available??? Why do I have to pay for a monthly subscription to be able to listen to any episode older than that??????? That’s ridiculous!!!!!!! I’ve never seen any other podcast ever do that before. They always make every single episode available for free for everyone forever. If you wanna make money, just put in ads like every other podcast does. Then have a subscription for the ad-free version. But requiring a subscription to even listen to the show at all is absolutely insane.

Been listening to MacBreak since the beginning but I can not stand listening to Christina. I skip any show that she’s on and sadly that means the end of MacBreak for me.
