Customer Reviews
A great way to keep updated on all things Apple
This is a 30 minute daily podcast which is a great way to keep updated on all things Apple - not just the Mac. You get the latest news and developments in the Apple world with some wider context from the tech world. A must listen if you’re an Apple fan
Entertaining and informative
This is a podcast I never miss as it's a great way to keep on top of issues affecting Apple users. Topics are discussed in pretty good depth for a short, daily podcast and the presenters & guests are sincere in their efforts to tease out the key issues of each topic.
Great, but now too long
An all star line up discussing all things Apple. The panel are informative and look at the news from various perspectives.
I have listened since the start and I now feel for a 'daily' show it has become too long around the 20 minute mark. Advertising is important to support the network but these ads for the size of the episode are also too long in my opinion.
I think the show would benefit from streamlining back to the 10-15 minute bite size episode.
