Comment Corner

Just a brief message to let you know that I really enjoy your show. You all are just as informative and more fun, and just seem like genial, smart, regular dudes. I even enjoy Michael Simon’s epic struggles to get the outros right. I do have a where-are-they now inquiry about the hosts of the previous iterations of Macworld podcasts that I loved. What are some of your former hosts of that show up to now?

Really enjoy the Podcast! No need to keep apologizing for “going long.” It’s a “long form” format by design and one of the main reasons podcasts (and now Video podcasts) are such a successful medium! Best Regards and Good Work Guys! 😊
