Customer Reviews
3 Mac fans talking Mac news hints good bad and ugly
Was linked to this podcast by another UK podcaster (BritishMac) and although a lot of this stuff is avaialble elsewhere I like the format and the interaction between the 3 casters. Well worth suscribing to.
Very engaging
This podcast is very engaging - it has a good combination of information and enthusiasm - and the presenters clearly have the right chemistry. I have just bought a mac and find this to be one of the better shows
Chemistry
I like the chemistry between the two presenters on this informative Mac podcast, one of not that many that emanate from the UK rather than over the water. But - there's always a but isn't there - I wish the schedule could be more reliable without the sometimes quite long gaps between editions!
