150: ‘Strict Robot Definer’ With Jason Snell

2 hours 51 minutes

Jason Snell (Six Colors, The Incomparable, Upgrade) returns to the show for an in-depth look at last week's Apple Event, and the two products that were introduced: the iPhone SE and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Other topics include the ongoing FBI/Apple encryption soap opera, what's wrong with the Apple Watch -- and our appreciation for the late great Garry Shandling.
