Great content and really enjoy the Apple centric focus.
This podcast needs to rejigger its focus to HomeKit/Apple Home. There is too much discussion on non-HomeKit related devices like air purifiers, air tags, wallets, or whatever. The podcast is called HomeKit Insider, so let’s stick to the topics mentioned in the title of the show.
While I *want* to like this podcast, I can't get past the host. When he has a guest, he doesn't give her or him enough time to fully express themselves, constantly interrupting and hogging the show. The last episode I listened to--and it will sadly be the last--he had a guest who managed to eat out two or three sentences in the entire interview, even though he was the expert, not I the host.
Sorry, I won't be listening to this podcast anymore.
I am a big Apple Home fan and this is one show dedicated to Apple Home that delivers every week. Andrew does a great job.
Great podcast, but has degraded in quality since Steven left. Episode length varies dramatically week to week, and you new know if it’s going to be a solo or group host episode.
Ad breaks are INSANELY long. Work on it.
Also, Andrew NEEDS to upgrade his audio equipment. Mic quality is BAD.
