12/28/25 update - how do you say “I’m a democrat” without saying “I’m a democrat”? Wesley can show you. William, keep up the good work. I appreciate your keeping it on topic. -1 star.
This is a really good podcast to keep you up to date on Apple stuff. They need to keep it 100% technology and lose all mention of politics.

Hey so I’m the young listener and now that Christmas jus ended I used some of my money to have your subscriber version for a year. I’m really excited about that and I can’t wait to hear about the future of Apple even more, without ads! Hope you guys had a merry Christmas and can’t wait for the true Apple Intelligence.
You know Wes it’s ok to admit when you’re wrong. You know just cuz a device doesn’t fit your needs doesn’t mean it’s not useful. Hey Wes it’s ok you don’t know everything. Fix these issues and the pod will take the next step.

Very insightful podcast. William is brilliant and Wesley is super knowledgeable (although he could do with turning up the positivity dial as he comes across as being quite annoyed most of the time)
Have been listening to the show for many years, it used to be great. Lately the political garbage is ruining it and I refuse to follow anymore. Give us Apple News not your political views! Westley is arrogant when reading feedback from others that have issues with the political twist this show has taken and he should really not be if he wants to keep a podcast. Good thing the other top apple podcast remain mostly politically neutral to appeal to all their listeners.
