Essential Apple Podcast 276: Pick & Mix

Another super late release of a show with Simon and Nick (really have to find a more efficient way to process the show notes…, not sure Simon can do anything to fix his busy life schedules :D). Anyway – here it is with a variety of stories again mostly avoiding stuff from “people close to the matter say”. Oh and a bunch of car chatter in the Aftershow/Preshow segment!

Essential Apple Podcast 275: This and that, and other stuff…

Late again but there we go – apologies for that. Anyway Simon and Nick got together as usual to chat about the news stories and other stuff as they do. This time there’s Game Maker stuff for VisionPro, a weird Apple patent, a new TidBits Poll feature, threats to encrypted messages, an expensive pair of Apple Sneakers (and the original Apple Watch).

Essential Apple Podcast 274: Mac on the up with Bart Busschots

Sorry this one is disgracefully and inexcusably late because… well because of stuff. Anyway Simon was joined by Bart to take a look at the news of the week (at the time) and found a bit more to talk about than they thought they might… Also apologies the sound isn’t up to the usual standard… there was quite a lot of traffic noise and also either Discord or Audio Hijack had a hissy fit at Bart’s end and he had to do the second half with just a live mic resulting in some gain issues… Anyway its cleaned up as best as Simon could manage and we hope it doesn’t spoil your enjoyment too much!

Essential Apple Podcast 273: Hell’s Teeth

This week Simon and Nick get back together to talk about a variety of stories that for a change aren’t all “sources familiar with the matter say”. Regardless of that they do of course manage to wander off the topics and into other matters…

Essential Apple Podcast 272: Talking Apple Vision Pro with Carolina Milanesi

This week Simon was joined by special Guest Carolina Milanesi of Creative Strategies and The Heart of Tech. As one of the privileged few to have had hands on, nay, eyes on, experience of the Vision Pro – that is of course the main part of our conversation, but not all by any means…

Essential Apple Podcast 270: Bits & Bobs

Simon and Nick return once again to chew over a few stories of the week that caught their attention… If you’re wondering about the show art it’s “Bits and Bobs” from the CBEEBIES TV children’s show (bits and bobs also being a UK term for an assortment of oddments).

Essential Apple Podcast Extra: A Long Lost Show

Just after Christmas Simon, Nick and Jim got together and recorded a show, but because life and reasons it never got released… So here it is in all of its “glory”! Sound quality isn’t as good as usual because a) Simon had just moved and wasn’t properly set up, and b) this was recovered from the backup recordings… also for the same reason there aren’t any proper show notes, they got overwritten months ago – apologies (though being months out of date I don’t suppose that matters too much!)

Essential Apple Podcast 265: A late, late, late show…

Simon and Nick got together for a chat on what was a very, very, light news week and talked about a variety of stuff including the fact that Simon is on the move again (which of course accounts for the lateness of this show and the absence of any newer ones (as he is currently buried in boxes, and trying to arrange furniture etc., again!) We promise to try and get back on schedule as soon as possible. Sorry about that.

Essential Apple Podcast 263: Apple Surprise!

Wow what a week, Apple went quietly mad and released new M2 Macs, full size HomePods and iOS 16.3! Simon and Nick chat about what it all meant – Mrs P bought a 50 inch 4K TV for just £229, but it cost Simon another £149 for an AppleTV 4K, she also bought an Apple Refurb iPhone 12 ProMax, and more stuff that caught our attention…
