Fantastic podcast for Mac users at *any* level

Even though I’ve been using a Mac three years, most learn something new every single episode! The two homes, David and Casey, are just the best; this is my favourite podcasts, I never listen episode.

Great shows!!

I find MPU to be a fantastic resource and I'm sure it would be really useful for all Mac users. I listen while I'm working on my online course and I regularly get useful tips for improving my workflows. Katie and David make a great duo and the guest spots are really good too. I think it's great that people can find time from their busy day jobs to put great shows like this together. Cheers!
