MacVoices Chuck Joiner

Apple’s presence as a media company is becoming more important, both to the company itself and to its audiences. That's why Charlotte Henry and Chuck Joiner have teamed up to produce a new “show within a show”. TV+ Talk will be delivered through both the MacVoices channels and those of Charlotte’s The Addition, and will focus on that presence. In the first installment, Charlotte and Chuck discuss the genesis of the project, their different perspectives on Apple TV+ shows, and how the first two episodes of the third season of "Ted Lasso" hold up.

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Jim Rea had more thoughts on the use of ChatGPT and other generative AIs and where they are appropriately used (as if that’s going to stop inappropriate use). Samsung’s questionable claims of great moon images as evidence of their phone’s photographic capabilities, Google’s magic eraser feature, and more have the panel wondering if they are living in a science fiction novel.

Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, Mark Fuccio, Jim Rea, and Kelly Guimont look at from all the angles, including why Elon Musk is doing what he’s doing. (Part 3)

Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, Mark Fuccio, Jim Rea, and Kelly Guimont take a look at a couple hot topics. The Apple community has rallied behind the idea of not asking for refunds on Twitter client subscriptions from some high-profile developers, but seem equally comfortable avoiding paywalls. The debate/discussion over the rationale behind these seemingly conflicting attitudes takes center stage. (Part 2)
