What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Connected strikes a rare balance between entertaining banter and genuinely useful tech discussion. Stephen, Myke, and Federico bring a distinct personality and perspective, which keeps things engaging without ever feeling chaotic. Whether they’re covering Apple news, software tools, or personal workflows, the conversation is always thoughtful and grounded. Even when I don’t agree with everything, I appreciate the honesty and the respect they show for the audience. Highly recommended for anyone interested in tech with a human touch.

IHH31360 · May 2025

Stephen, Myke, and Federico have really hade a fun show in Connected. Over the years they've added more bits and gotten looser, making this one of my most fun listens every week, while also remaining sharp and smart with their commentary about tech and Apple. They also are standup humans who care about the rights of all people, which means quite a lot to me. Other reviews lambast them for sometimes getting political, but them speaking up makes me feel safer when listening to them.

Zoe Knox · May 2025

Been listening to this show since the episodes were in double digits. It’s only improved over time as the guys have honed their skills and humor… strong recommendation

chadwickaaron · May 2025

I’ve been listening since 2019. These guys are a blast to listen to and they love the technology that they talk about and makes it so easy to listen.

rmcb5 · May 2025

I used to look forward to this show every single week for its fun and unique chemistry between the hosts, but over the last few months it’s become mostly about boosting AI. What happened to the Federico or a year ago who was writing letters to congress about the theft of these AI companies? It’s super disappointing to see these three people give into boosting this planet destroying “technology”. I genuinely hope the three come back to their senses and snap out of the spell AI has them trapped in.
