The MacRumors Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

There are lot of tech podcasts out there but when I listen to those after a few minutes I have to skip coz they start swaying to a different irrelevant topics, thus creating noise.

Dan and Hartley keep things on track and there is a logical progression into related topics which keep me engaged and worth listening to every episode. Keep up the good work guys! You rock!!

This podcast could be good, but it should be hosted by Hartley alone or a better co-host. Dan is never prepared or knowledgeable about the topics which makes it a painful experience for Hartley, who feels more like a babysitter sometimes. Hartley must constantly reign in Dan to keep him on topic, correct him or derail his generally inane ramblings/"theories". Hartley is more than competent to do this alone. Co-hosting with Homer Simpson would be so tiring.

Usually pretty good coverage of Apple-related news. Hartley has super good takes most of the time, Dan is by far the worst part with his ice cold takes and myopic ideas. Even then not too bad, I listen weekly but don’t prioritize this podcast over other Apple ones like Upgrade and ATP. Not quite as good as 9to5Mac but better than AppleInsider.

I appreciate the differing perspectives and opinions of Hartley and Dan. My biggest frustration with the show is the overall low volume; as compared to other podcasts, such as the gold standard BBC podcasts, the volume for this show is quite low. Also, as others have noted, there are occasional volume level differences between the hosts, which can be annoying.
