What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

If I could only have one podcast to listen to, this would be it. And that's a hard choice with people like David Sparks and Allison Sheridan around. Knowledgeable. Fun. Informative. Timely. They do and report on experiments. They keep the audio audience in mind. Even in this time of video. With more time, I'd listen to their other podcasts. I do like Adam and his daughter's podcast and make time for that.

I’ve been continuously listening since the podcast began. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode. If you are a geek you’ll recognize Dave as the cool friend that was in your group of geeks. Adam is a great addition and it has been a joy watching his strait-laced personality slip into the goofy abyss as he has been worn down. They have broken him and now he’s one of the gang. Pete’s the friend that wants to be a geek and it’s fun listening to him. All together the band of three come from different places and each have their unique perspective. A joy to listen each week.

Love This show. It is on my weekly must listen to list as they are constantly saying I actually do learn at least five new things every week. It is amazing little tricks and tips they provide that make working in an apple environment so much easier. Even as a non-power user, like myself, you should definitely listening to this podcast.

NYCSteph18 · May 2026

Thanks for welcoming submissions and sharing such great content week after week! Mac Geek Gab is the only podcast I listen to consistently and I always get so much out of it. I coach Mac users. Most of my consumption of the show is while bicycling, my primary means of transport, including to visit clients. This energizes me to do my best work — by getting exercise and fresh air, learning along the way, and discovering new tips and resources to benefit us both. Don’t get caught missing out on learning at least 5 new things about your Apple ecosystem. Listen to the Mac Geek Gab!

Jamcycler · May 2026

This one tends to have too much banter and gab between the 3 hosts and not enough actual useful Apple related tech content. Also they tend to not be too well prepared for the show and do research on the fly or just plain don’t know things. They also sometimes just give misinformation.
