The MacVoices Live! panel looks at the web accessibility for Apple Podcasts, which enhances distribution for creators. We also explore enhancements to the Apple Sports app, now featuring NFL and college football scores with a focus on user experience through a cleaner interface and reduced advertisements. Lastly, Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, and Web Bixby discuss Apple's decision to open NFC capabilities to third-party apps.
