The Mac & Forth Show

As there is a dearth of interesting Apple news this week Dean, Steve and Karl put on their grumpy old men hats and share the apps, services and technologies that they just do not understand in this modern age. To be taken more as a ‘tongue in cheek’ episode, as we don’t want to upset anyone by naming their most beloved apps, services or technologies….honest.

This week Karl is on his lonesome, not because we have all split up, but because Karl can’t organise properly. As a result he looks at a few stories from the past week or so, then looks forward to what 2019 might bring from Apple and what we might have to look forward too.

On our last episode of the year, Karl is joined by his old podcasting partner in crime, Missy. As the world seems to be a very different place from when they last recorded their “Here ’N’ There Show” Missy and Madden decide to take a look at how Social Media has seemingly become corrupted and almost intolerable over the past year or so.
