The @jsnell Anthology

This week, Kathy is joined by two podcasting powerhouses: Brad Dowdy and Jason Snell. We talk about how they started podcasts (spoiler alert: they both now do podcasts with people that inspired them to start!), podcasts that they love and sports ball. Additionally, it’s time for Jason to get a little bit emotional.

“Special guest Jason Snell returns to the show. Topics do include mechanical keyboards, but do not — I swear — include baseball. Also: speculation on what Apple might do with the non-Pro MacBook lineup.”

I’m making my last appearance on the B5 Audio Guide to talk about a very confounding TV movie.

“Federico is joined by Jason Snell to talk about Shortcuts.”

“This time Seth is joined by Jason Snell, head honcho at The Incomparable, and they discuss Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age, winner of the 1996 Hugo Award.”

Jason Snell is one of the best known Apple technical journalists. He’s the Editor-in-Chief of the Apple focused website Six Colors, and he told me the intriguing story about how that name came to be. Previously he was Senior VP and editorial director at IDG, publishers of Macworld, PCWorld, and TechHive. Jason always knew he wanted to be a journalist, and he told me the story about, as a kid, standing on his back porch in a rainstorm and pretending to do a live TV weather report. In 1991, he created InterText, one of the first online fiction magazines. Today, Jason writes and podcasts about everything Apple. In our show, Jason shared his thoughts about many of the most timely and pressing topics related to Apple today: the Mac and iPad futures and the Apple TV.

Following up on Q1 2017, Gartenberg and Ritchie speak with special guest Jason Snell of Six Colors on Apple TV: What it was meant to be, what it ended up being, and where it goes from here.

Apple/DOJ case stalls, the new iPhone SE and iPad Pro, Amazon Echo as a platform, lesson’s from Tay, effects of streaming on the music industry, and more…

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.

This is possibly one of the best done-in-one episodes of B5: meaty, great sci-fi concept, cultural commentary, well directed and (mostly) acted, psychological drama, and a surprising amount of fodder for the spoiler section. And because someone dies horribly in it, that means it’s time for that cheery soul Jason Snell to join us again!
