  • Thank god!

    Erfon Elijah is gone! I stopped when Leander was no longer on. Erfon offered nothing. His understanding of technology was as bad as his “humor “

  • Where is Erfon?

    I love the podcast, Griffin Lewis, and Leander are great, but Erfon brought an energy which is impossible to replace. I’m coming to terms with the fact that at this point, he probably won’t be coming back, but you guys have to address it at some point. Forgive me if I somehow missed it, it’s just very strange to have him disappear with no mention from the rest of you. What happened? If he quit or was fired you guys can just tell us- not saying anything is way weirder I promise!

  • It’s Fun! (Not Anymore)

    For me, this is the number podcast covering Apple. They don’t take themselves so seriously, as some do in the podcasting, tech world. It’s like hanging out and talking with your buddies. Keep it up!

    Updated review….

    First, let me say, Erfon is the podcast. It’s been that way from day one. He’s the one that makes it fun and entertaining. I will say though, I never realized how much Leander meant to the podcast until he left. There’s a certain balance that he added to the podcast with Erfon,... more
