  • A Waste of Time

    This podcast is a total waste of time as the dude just scrapes Apple news off the internet and painfully regurgitates it back out in this podcast. No original content or discovery or discussion. He also regularly likes to spout out his political agenda in the podcast rather then sticking to Apple news. Avoid this podcast at all costs.

  • Not a crowd follower

    Unlike most Apple and tech podcasts, Ken doesn’t necessarily follow the pundit crowds opinions. He actually THINKS about things and often provides interesting viewpoints out of sync with the rest. I get so tired of “me-too” podcasts by so many others.

  • It’s Okay

    Not a great podcast.

    It’s okay.

    I tried it because it was recommended because I listen to tech podcasts.

    I might listen once per week.

    I recommend you give it a try and see how it goes.
