This is excellent. The most recent episode, „Kon and Bal‘s puzzle page“, was brilliantly done (as are many others). Thanks!

Germany5 months ago - A great listen for a lifelong Mac user
This podcast is a hidden treasure.
I started using Macs in grade school, and every month I would look forward to buying the latest issue of Mac Addict or Macworld.
I have many great memories of staying after school to build small projects with HyperCard and Golive Cyberstudio, (and for some reason the teachers let me install kaleidoscope to change to UI and tweak things with ResEdit)
This podcast brings back those memories.
The creator does a great job of choosing and narrating classic Mac... more

MFR is meticulously produced and more fun than you’d imagine at first glance. Very much worth your time—especially if you’re a “pre-OSX” user.

United Statesa year ago - Favorite podcast ever
I have been listening to Derek for years now and seeing an episode release honestly makes my day. He does a fantastic job of finding interesting Macintosh (and by extension, Apple, NeXT, and vendor) time pieces. Additionally, he does a fantastic job contextualizing references made in the journal that may be relevant to the listener by providing extra material both in and out of the podcast.
