Matt somehow manages to escape again this week but the lovely Teresa Hummel from the Itty Bitty Security Podcast joins Ric, Barry and Karl to discuss the weeks Apple and tech news.

Hopefully we are only a few weeks from a real Apple announcement but until then the rumours continue unabated. This week Ric, Matt, Bazza and Karl are joined by Alan Vickers, author of Word for iPad, The Deep Dive Guide. Will Alan emerge unscathed from his experience or will he suffer the emotional and mental scars like so many before him?

All the lads are back this week. It’s like a big band reunion except these guys are still talking to each other without the need for lawyers…yet.

This week it’s Barry that has somehow escaped the show, but fear not, Matt and Ric have returned to guide Karl though the maze of Apple news. Also joining the fun is Alex G. Fox, surely he can bring some sense of normality and erudite discussion to the proceedings? Anyway…..

Somehow Ric and Matt have managed to escape the Mac & Forth padded cell leaving Barry and Karl to host the show. Fortunately they have managed to snag some sensible help in the form of Russ Clewett and David Dean. Will the intrepid guests bring some professionalism to the proceedings or will Bazza and Karl drag them kicking and screaming down to their level? To find out stay tuned for this week’s edition of the Mac & Forth Show…Dun, Dun, Daaaahhhhh!!!!

The Mac & Forthers return for another week of Apple related news and discussion. Will this be the week they finally become a well tuned team of tech-pundits with devastating insights and opinions?…..Nah, we doubt it too. 

Matt, Ric, Barry and Karl finally remember to press the ‘record’ button on the second attempt at the show but alas the first version, which was just outstandingly amazing, has been lost forever…No, honest.

Apple links up with Big Blue.

Happy Birthday dear App Store.

Google wants us to pick a side.

The team is in a much depleted state this week and I’m sure it has nothing to do with the World Cup Semi Final on the telly. As a result the show is a little shorter this week, so there’s a silver lining to every podcast.

This week Ric and Karl look over the week’s Apple and tech related news, picking their way through the stories and sneakily picking their noses when they think no one is looking.

New Betas are out for iOS and OSX

App Extensions

Hug a wall-hugger.

Beware the Foxbots.

The guys return after their hiatus where they worked on a number of solo endeavours resulting in none of them becoming millionaires, and so they have decided to put the old band back together.

This week Matt, Ric, Barry, Alex and Karl start by looking back at what occurred while they were off the air. Apple bought Beats and something called WWDC happened.

Storage storage everywhere

Apple no longer developing Aperture

Budget iMac

New iPods.
