Lacks knowledge, depth
HomeKit insider is good in that it’s there, and there aren’t many HomeKit podcasts at all - I wish there were more. I also wish these hosts were more knowledgeable about HomeKit and Apple’s tech. Stephen Robles seems to be cast as the good natured buffoon who chuckles and laughs about how he just doesn’t know a thing, handing it off to Andrew who appears to be cast as the expert. Unfortunately, Andrew seems to know just a little bit more about Apple tech than my mother did before she passed away in her 80s. He makes stuff up on the spot, and they both concur and agree that yep, yep that must be the answer! Even when they’re just plain wrong. Worst, the point of the podcast really seems to be for them to get free gear from manufacturers. Look, I get it, it’s part of the industry, but they are so boldfaced about it that it becomes sickening; it just seems to be a podcast there to support their greed, not to educate consumers about what’s happening in HomeKit, and telling us about new products. The fact that they get free stuff should be secondary and in service to the listeners, and it just doesn’t feel that way a lot of the time. Overall, it’s an embarrassment to an old and venerable name in the Apple news world, AppleInsider. You should really do better.

HomeKit has finally “arrived” as a well supported integration platform with ample choices in supported products. Choosing the different products based on their website can be a minefield.
