Macnificent is making it's triumphant return, with a slightly new format, focusing on a single topic, and elaborating on it as fully as possible. This week, I focus on the AirPods, and the magic that's packed in this little dental floss box.

On Episode 32, Chris and Ian recount their history with Apple, the products and experiences that shaped their love of the company, and some of Apple's more memorable moments.
