nerdy fun
I like this show. I’m a “tech enthusiast,” which just means I follow tech through various websites and newspapers, and indulge mostly in Apple products. John is a great host—he’s knowledgable and funny and his personality shines through—and the topics are interesting (if you’re an Apple fan). I do wish for more coverage of the social component of tech. John’s thoughts are always well-researched and, well, thoughtful, so I’d like to hear more about his view on tech’s role and influence in culture-at-large, particularly around issues of equity & equality. To that point, I know the world of Apple/tech writers is small and niche, but I’d love to hear more interactions with a more diverse group of people. As with any tech writing, it often can feel like an echo chamber of mostly straight white men. Nonetheless, a wonderful podcast. Thank you John for putting so much effort into it.

Over an hour and a half of insufferable rambling by two self-proclaimed masters of the Universe. Little to no engaging analysis of important news or other topics related to Apple. Billed as "sort of like the director's commentary track for Daring Fireball," the latest episode covered...Read full review »
