- Good Technical Show (when it is nor a political show)
I have listened to the show for a long time and appreciate the insights, especially from Alex Lindsay and Jason Snell. Leo Laporte appears to dislike Apple and usually leads to charge down political rabbit holes that are justified as being Apple adjacent. Show is still great when technical issues and products are discussed (without overt anti-Apple bias) but I stop listening once the shows veers into politics. I really want an Apple eco-system show - there are more than enough avenues to hear... more

United States2 months ago - Love it!
Love the guys and the guest hosts. They are my generation and I relate to the banter and jokes that keep me smiling and enjoying the information filled episodes. They try not to be overtly political without censuring, and even when taking opposing positions they stay friends and don’t make it ugly. I enjoy informed, polite discourse, too bad everyone doesn’t in this formerly world trend setting country. Let’s export tolerance of opposing viewpoints folks.
Apple Podcasts5I_Am_Mostly_HarmlessUnited States2 months ago - More woke than ever
LONG time listener. Took a break when Andy couldn’t keep his woke talking points in check. Gave it another chance and when Alex tried to present a reasonable view about both sides of the political spectrum Andy said “don’t you dare make this about it being both sides.” Had to unfollow again. Let me know if Andy and his incoherent babbling ever leaves the show, might follow again.
Apple Podcasts1DarthChrisChrisUnited States2 months ago - A show about Macs that seems to prefer circling the political sewer drain instead.
This show is supposed to be about all things Apple & Macs but the hosts seem to feel that they absolutely must talk politics with Leo & Andy not being able to permit Alex to have a less confrontational view of the world. I can get this junk elsewhere, I am tired of getting it from my supposed entertainment. Don’t listen unless you want your tech news with more than a spoonful of &*#$.
Apple Podcasts1AgingKeeperUnited States2 months ago - Love the show but out of touch
I love the show but Andy is very out of touch with reality of how things work and implemented. It’s clear he doesn’t have modern technology experience understanding the industry and his points are very naive. Alex understands this, but also in his own way goes way too deep into his own experiences and industry.
Jason really saves the show from being spiraled into nonsense.
Leo tries to keep things in line but I can tell it’s becoming a hard balance for him. Andy is obviously a good friend but... more
