Episode One: Introductions and particularities | This is our first attempt at an app-centric podcast. While we’re still working out the kinks, we think we’ve hit our first stride pretty well. In this episode we talk specifically about our favorite apps of the moment, but in the future we’ll be focusing on both app news, and apps in particular. We’re also fortunate enough to have some excellent upcoming developer guests, they’ll be making appearances in the upcoming weeks. | 6/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great work!
This is a must-listen for iOS users. Myke and Josh don't just discuss new apps, but talk about trends, design choices and that *it* thing that makes an app great. Check it out!
Good Listen
This is one of my favorite sources for finding out about the new and trending apps out there. My only complaint is that I wish it was available more often. A good listen.
Wrong about everything...
Most of the speculation they come up with is just random and void of any true facts, still fun to listen to if you live under a natural rock formation or in close proximity to power lines.
