Keep to the facts, and fix the adds.

“Sadly this is the most thorougher podcast on Apple issues since Cnet dropped Brian tong and the Apple byte. I’m so glad Brian is back with his new independent podcast Apple Bitz!! Unlike these two, he was funny and entertaining and instead of effectively just making up a constant stream of dribble to pad out the podcast, he was short and concise.
The adds are also quite over the top. Both length and far to frequent. They always seem to be just products that Zac likes which do not resonate with me as a listener. I wish you’d put music in the background of the add sections to make it easier to skip them and know when the content has begun again. Especially when some of the adds now seem to be close to two minutes long!!!
So many times Zac comes across as this annoying friend that thinks he knows everything wanting to control what tech his friends and family should use. I mean great, you love tech but your obsessive compulsion to control every tech gadget in every life around you comes across in the podcast. Just tone it down a little. And stop trying to micromanage everything.
Ben, you come across as this really friendly guy who is the far more relatable side of the podcast. Your insight as a developer is intriguing and I find your commentary far more insightful. I just wish Zac would let you take the mic more. You are far less abrasive to listen to but you do need to do your research so you come across as a reliable source of information. And please learn how to say the word gauge! It’s good to see that in 2020 you are getting more of the mic time.
I admire both of your dedication to the podcast and to the 9to5mac site, I just wish you’d bring it back to reality, speak to the rumours you have instead of adding your own spin on everything so freely, it just muddies the waters around the rumour. #fakenews
Anyway, keep up the hard work in 2019.
Edit: I’ve enjoyed Ben doing the adds for a change, bit still no musical gingle in the background makes skipping the often minutes long adds more tedious than it needs to be. It shows you don’t value my time as a listener.”

“Really enjoyed the Apple Watch show which had tons of info from around the web and other sources nicely encapsulated in one episode. Super informative and stayed on point.”
