  • Greatest Apple History Podcast

    This is the most entertaining and informative podcast I’ve ever listened to on Apple history. The hosts do a fabulous job covering the inside stories behind the greatest achievements as well as pitiful foibles we’ve all seen from Apple.

    An absolute Must Read/Listen.

  • Interesting and Informative

    The pod is one of my favorites now. The story telling and explanations of product development are well done. Feels like going back in time to imagine being in their shoes. Then looking back on it after is a great touch. Keep it up and looking forward to learning more.

  • Leave out the politics

    Love the show, but please leave out the politics. More than half the country apparently are Republicans. I stopped listening to the entire twit network because they insult the other half of the country that doesn’t believe what they do. You guys are definitely not as bad as that yet. Other than that, great podcast.
