“For the fan of old Macintosh computers, this podcast series is a must. When I discovered it, I binged out on (then) 300 or so past episodes.
To be sure, despite the title, it is mostly about vintage Macintoshes. It is actually a homage to Apple, once Apple Computer, as well as all things with...”Read full review »

“like I do, download this podcast. I've listened to all 348 episodes (with more to come) and still find it fresh and interesting. I have no idea how James and John find new topics to cover, and keep the listener interested, but they do. I started listening when they were up to episode 140, caught...”Read full review »

“They talk a lot about all things APPLE, though the podcasts focus is Macintosh. They spend a lot of time talking about non Mac computers, but they rag on members that state their favorite computers are not Macs. Its a great podcast but I don't think they realize their contradiction.”
