Customer Reviews
Definitely Subscribe To This One!
Fantastic show. John and the team have an in-depth understanding of the technical aspects of new and old Macintoshes. The format is a group of guys just talking about Apple technology and I feel like I am right there just listening in and absorbing it all. Not only are they a joy to listen to, but they provide meaningful information to the listener that he or she can immediately use. But be prepared, there is homework after each podcast!
Concentrated Awesome.
MacBreak Tech is a great show. If you want to sit down and learn some really useful information about Macs, you'll love this show. I can't recommend it any more highly.
John Foster is the sh!t
This is a great podcast for those who need to dip into the technogeek details of Mac use. A definite subscription!
