  • I really enjoy this podcast - please do more

    I got out of the habit of listening to podcasts recently instead listening to audiobooks more. But when I read there was a new episode of Open Apple I immediately downloaded and listened to it. That’s how much I appreciate it. Thank you.

I still find the length of each episode combined with their density can be a bit full-on - that's my only com... more

  • Best episode ever!

    The latest episode is the BEST episode ever! The quality of the podcast has improved greatly lately and it is now my 3rd favourite (next to No Quarter and RetroMacCast). The latest episode introduces so many great stories… loves the Portal story! And loves the Apple IIGS memories! Apple IIGS forever!
