I have listened to this show for over 15 years and every episode is fantastic. Leo and the crew provide wonderful insight into the world of Apple. Special shout out to Andy and Alex the other OG hosts. Both provide deep insight into how Apple influences the world outside of tech. I cannot say enough good things about this show!

I was a programmer for many years, and this podcast reminds me of the times I would get to listen to folks who knew a lot more about a topic than I did discuss new hardware and software. And these folks are not only knowledgeable but fun to listen to. I always feel smarter and happier when they’re done, and can’t wait for the next break. What a great way to stay up to date, highly recommended. For those concerned about non computer topics … they only get mentioned when directly applicable to the technology being discussed, and shows that the hosts are human like all of us. I don’t always agree with every opinion but they are always well thought out and sometimes make me see things just a little differently than before. Doesn’t get any better.

Fantastic! I’ve been listening for years and I’ve been too lazy to write a review. All of you are very talented and well spoken individuals. Andy and Alex are a wealth of knowledge and expertise but I most often connect with Jason and do enjoy to listen to his “inside information “about Apple. Also a fellow Vision Pro owner from day one. Leo‘s powerful voice leads the team into a well rounded show. I love the fact that it is the length of time so that I can divide it up over a few trips back-and-forth to work. Gentlemen keep up the great work. this is the quality programming that we love.

Apple Tech Inspired Discussion, should be the name of the show. First, Andy Ihnatko needs to be WAY more precise, he rambles on and on, about the obvious or his political leanings. I simply hit the 30 second jump button when I hear his voice, and it takes a lot of jumps to get past it, but removes nothing from the show. The picks of the week are one of the best parts of the show. The political opinions are useless, stick to the subject.

I’ve been a fan of this podcast for a very long time and it’s always been great but lately it’s been on a downfall. The last few shows have been all about politics and it’s annoying, we listen for Apple Tech, not your backwards views on politics. And it’s all of them not just Leo. It happens throughout the entire show, just little side remarks and it’s annoying. Not all your listeners are backwards democrats, we don’t care about your political views. Another annoying thing is Leo’s constant interruptions of the other speakers, it’s all the time. Leo’s constant bashing of the VisionPro is getting old really fast, if you hate Apple so much why continue to do the show. Lastly and the most sickening thing is Leo always letting everyone know about how proud he is of using ad blockers but he continues to cry about losing advertisers, you complain about advertisers and block them and you complain that they are not advertising on your network. Every other podcast is doing well with Ads because they appreciate their advertisers. It’s a 5 star podcast when you talk about Apple products but a 1 star the way it’s been going. Stop the politics please!
