“Love the podcast guys. Easy to listen to and down to earth which I appreciate. When I listen I have to knock the volume up 10 clicks compared to any other show in my library. I’ve mucked with all the settings I can think of. That needs to be sorted please.”

“The post-Stephen era of this podcast makes for an odd dynamic, swinging between the tech uninformed uncle and the pedantic nephew. The show now zigzags between moments of “can you help me reset my itunes password?” and “well, actually”… Update after a few weeks: The chemistry between the hosts...”Read full review »

“Stephen was great, William is splendid. The two of them had such a great dynamic. Wes was always my least favorite host and now that he’s full time I had to unsubscribe. He has this weird obsession with Elon Musk and keeps throwing his far left political views into the show. I couldn’t tell you...”Read full review »

“Back before Stephen left, I really enjoyed this podcast. Stephen and William had great chemistry, and Stephen and Wes wasn’t bad either. But William and Wes just has never had the same chemistry. Whenever Stephen couldn’t record an episode for one reason or another, the William+Wes episodes were...”Read full review »

“This is a nice show, podcasters do good ground work but it’s sometimes not interesting as they try to praise Apple with undue respect and dump non-Apple products. Even they ridicule windows a lot. We are all Apple fans but be moderate and neutral when it comes to critics not praising Apple for...”Read full review »

“Can’t continue to subscribe with Wes as host. Wes stick to writing where you can be free to comment on politics but I listen to learn about Apple and not listen to your bloody dribble.”

“This was one of the better podcasts on all things Apple with Robles but since he’s departed, it’s gone downhill quite a bit. I always enjoyed the shows w/Robles and Gallagher and much less the ones w/Hilliard and Robles. Now that it always Hilliard and Gallagher its more irritating than...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast. Not only do I find the topics interesting and engaging but I can also just get on with things with Apple insider in the background. However, Wes, I feel constantly interrupts and is somewhat plain rude to to William who is a gentlemen and fellow brummie. Wes’s disdain for X and...”Read full review »

“Latest episode’s editing was HORRIBLE. Lots of dead space, hosts were edited to be talking over each other and couldn’t understand what either was saying. Seems like the show is going down hill content wise and quality of the editing since Stephen Robles left for his own things. You guys are...”Read full review »

Wes is ok at best in small doses every other week but now that he is on every episode he never stops talking. Wes and William do not seem to have have...”Read full review »

“One of my pet hates are podcasters who tout their opinion as fact
Wesley Hilliard is one such podcaster
Arrogant and not interested in balance as his view is spouted as fact rather than a debatable point of view and patronises and talks over his co-host
A person who so loves the sound of his...”Read full review »

“I like both of the hosts, but there doesn’t seem to be much chemistry between them now without Stephen. Wes is knowledgeable but talks too much and hijacks every topic. He doesn’t seem to enjoy the fun stuff about Apple, like indulging in some of the more interesting rumors or speculation....”Read full review »

“Well…I am unfollowing. This show used to be one of my favorites. Now, it is the vehicle for Wes Hilliard to condescend his audience, his cohost, and all technophiles. I honestly can’t believe how many times we had to listen to the fact that he was writing the review for the Apple Vision Pro. If I...”Read full review »

“Since Stephen left, Wes has hijacked the conversations and the meandering is maddening. His defense of everything that Apple does is now unchecked. I like William quite a bit, but he seems too polite to cut Wes off when needed. Apple Insider needs a host to steer the ship or listenership is gonna...”Read full review »

Now it is...”Read full review »
