What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was kinda wishy washy on this pod when it was Benjamin and Zac, but since Chance has stepped in I really feel like the show has hit its stride. I love the banter between them. Most importantly though, the hosts aren’t afraid to criticize Apple when needed, unlike another podcast that I listen to that also had a recent change of host. Keep up the great work guys!

Gameman114 · Jan 2024

Ben and Chance are a nice blend. Ben seems more technically knowledgeable and Chance is more on the fanboy side, similar to Zac. It’s a good back and forth of the different perspectives. The only thing I can’t stand is when they go on 10 minute rants comparing Twitter to threads. I don’t understand why that takes up space on an Apple centric podcast. Outside of that the podcast is great and always hits on the topics that came up that week.

Really enjoying this podcast, which I recently discovered. The Chance and Benjamin are super-knowledgeable about Apple and its products. Also the show is very chill and easy to listen to.

tom.hartnett · Sep 2023

Amazing Apple podcast. I love the detailed, full length conversations these two get into. My favorite part of the week!

livelafluv2 · Feb 2023

While the content is interesting and timely, the British host (sorry don’t know the name) is unlistenable. He speaks fast and garbles his words. It is almost impossible to fully understand what he is saying. If he would slow down and focus on clear articulation, the show would be so much better.

Drlbg · Mar 2025

The addition of Chance Miller kind of dampens the feeling of the show. While he is generally knowledgeable and significantly up-to-date on the latest goings-on in the Apple world, his energy is low, and the chemistry between him and Benjamin Mayo sounds more like a conference call than an at-ease conversation between friends
