MacOS Ken has been a staple for Apple news and commentary for years. The only drawback was a habit of slipping into US-centric partisan political takes, which was a major turn-off. Lately, though, it sounds like he’s refocused on the Apple tech.
If you hate Trump you’ll love “Mac OS Ken” and his TDS political rants. If you are here for daily Apple News you are better off listening to “9 to 5 Mac”. A nice brief Podcast giving just the Apple News facts of the day. That’s where I am now. And it only has one short commercial.
I used to listen to Ken almost daily. But since he has decided that we all need to hear his left-wing rants, I will no longer be listening.
He had a good, simple podcast before he messed it all up with his rants.
Yes, I would be saying the same thing if he were a Conservative. I was listening to hear Apple news. There are plenty of other political podcasts to listen to. For that reason, I’m gone.
Thanks for 20 years of great Apple news mixed with humor and intelligent commentary.
Here’s to the next two decades.
Thanks Ken
Been listening to Ken Ray since DAY ONE of this show. He started it on my birthday 20 years ago TODAY (Jan 26th)
The show is GREAT, the Apple News is GREAT, the snarky humor is GREAT, and you don't have to commit an entire hour (or 2) to get it.
I hope it can go 20 more. I'm a Patreon supporter and
for those like me who love this show, you should support it financially like I do.
Ken - if there is more that we can do to keep you "doing what you do", tell us ✌🏽
