Customer Reviews
Podcast was Interesting but...
I liked the interview, but it would keep cutting out and when I tried to get back to where it was, it would start all over again and then I would have to try to find where they were in the interview.
Also, Leander talks too fast.
The information was good, so that made up for the problems with the podcast.
So far so good
He's gone off on his own. Leaving behind Erfan and Buster. So far the interviews are good.
Great Stories & Fascinating Information re: Apple & Tech
I find these podcasts to be absolutely fascinating. So far, each show has given a glimpse, however brief, into the complicated world and back channels of how the Apple eco-system operates. This show acts as the informational plaques that describe each art piece in a museum which provide historical context and connect an otherwise arbitrary conversation piece to real people, emotions and events that we can relate to, making the devices in our pockets, more than just soldered silicon and glass. I hope the show continues. I'll even subscribe to Tunnel Bear if I have to.
