The Mac Show – Head of Black Ops for Portland – Show Notes

21 May 13

Its amazing that we even have a show. HUGE thanks to Jeff Gamet for stepping up to the plate at the last minute and Don and Kyle for not leaving us in the lurch.Will is publishing a podcast this weekend...allegedly, Kelly is on a special mission to Guatemala for the CIA, Dr Happy Mac has customer issues and Andy Ihnatko had to suffer the Samsung Galaxy 'Family' although we start a malicious rumour that he's in the Apple 'Basement' with electrodes on his testicles for buying an Android Phone.

One of my favourite podcasts of all time. The show is entertaining, informative and it has top of the line Mac Pundits, Journalists and experts with regular appearances by DHM, Don Mc, Kyle Swager, Kelly G, Andy Ihnatko, and Will Green with his Laconic Humour. The Show is hosted by Ewen Rankin, who does and outstanding job. Keep up the great work guys

The Mac Show is a Quirky, Smart and entertaining look at the weeks Macintosh News

"How do I say that Will Green's Tangents can be quite tedious without upsetting him, or should I just say that Will Greens Tangents can be quite tedious especially when his Skype quality is so poor at times that you cant understand him or that sometimes he gets over-excited and will talk over another guest when they're making an interesting/valid/serious and much funnier point

Talking of which, there are many many opportunities to interrupt the guests with thier many interesting, valid, serious or funny points, because this podcast has a very strong line up most weeks and maybe the non US centric focus allows ir encourages the US contributors to raise their game even further. Prominent regulars include, Andy Ihnatko 'of the Chicago Sun Times', Chris Foresman of Ars Technica (which never gets a laugh), Don Mc Allister of Screencastsonline (EVERY Podcast requires a token scouser ;P) and kelly from the other podcast with the rude name) Its all good stuff

There are various technical issues, but mostly these are limited to Will Green's Audio.

If you'd like a refreshing, non US Centric view of whats interesting and new in the world of Apple, give it a watch. And if you took Will Green Out...it just wouldnt be the same"

I have been listening to this show for a while now and it is by far my favourite. It has great characters and doesnt take itself too seriously. Very informative, funny and entertaining. Highly recommended listening

Nice to have a good Mac Video Podcast that isnt just from the US. Macs, iOS, F1 and Photography. Is Ewen Rankin my evil twin (See goatee on Star Trek Episodes)
