In which the podcast takes a totally unprecedented turn when we start to complain about things. Which we never, ever do. Never.

Shownotes:

In which we repeat ourselves in a manner reminiscent of the plot device in Inception, by talking about things we discussed last month, which we already talked about things we discussed the previous month again. We’re three levels down, people.

Shownotes:

In which we invited along two extra-special guests, Colm Doyle & Damian O’Sullivan, to discuss WWDC 2015. All just about the Keynote. Not even the State Of The Union, just the Keynote.

In which we discuss our wishlist & predictions for WWDC, sales on the Mac App Store, and then devolve into a discussion on politics.

Shownotes:

(The politics bit starts at about 44 minutes in, if you want to tune out at that stage…)

In which we talk in front of a live internet audience about our opinions on things.

Shownotes:

In which we talk excitedly about a whole plethora of subjects with a special guest. Fans of Oisin, please note: this episode contains only trace quantities of Oisin.
