The Mac & Forth Show

12

A weekly Apple related podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously. In fact, I'm wearing a rubber nose as I type this.

    I keep at least one eye on this podcast
    Well I only HAVE one eye so it’s not that hard. Karl and company speak about a lot of things and I can usually understand what they say. I’ll write another review when they start to speak proper English!

    Great Balance
    I really love this podcast. It is a great balance of opinion, fact, and humor. The host and guests are informed and respectful yet have intelligent opinions that they share. I recommend this podcast for any Apple/Mac/iOS fan that would like to keep up with the latest news and trends.

    A real good listen
    As a Brit who’s lived in the USA for the last 25 years, it’s great to listen to some good old British banter. Highly recommended. Also, no part of this review was written by ChatGPT 😊

    My favorite podcast
    It has been a very long time since I originally reviewed the show so it’s definitely time to update and refresh. I enjoy this podcast so much, when a new show hits my podcatcher, I immediately drop anything else on my list and tune in. I know there will be much hilarity along with all the Apple News and rumors. Pretty sure I get some side-eye looks as I drive down the road laughing. Many thanks to Karl, Steve, Alan, and Dean along with the other semi regulars who round out the cast, Mark, Barry, and Gaz. You’ve all provided many great hours of entertainment it is truly appreciated.

    A true gem of a podcast!
    What makes this podcast so good? Interesting hosts and positive attitudes! I always look forward to this weekly podcast for their honest, yet upbeat reviews of current tech and tech news. Hosts not only explain how they use their tech each week, but also share creative solutions to any problems encountered. One of the most enjoyable parts are when the hosts share their picks (or tips) for the week, something I wish they would make part of every show. Thank you Karl and team for a fun show that leaves me in a happy mood when finished listening. Cheers!

    Entertaining and enjoyable
    Great conversation style podcasts about Apple products from a collection of diverse personalities. Really fun to hear their opinions and takeaways.. This show has wedged itself into my weekly Apple related listens, keep up the good work gents! You’ve got a loyal listener (via Overcast) from the west coast of the states.

    Absence makes the heart grow fonder … or something like that.
    This group of Brits gives this Texan an uplift every week with a fresh perspective on the world of Apple. They offer practical reviews, fresh insights, laced with good humor. Really makes me want to venture across the pond and have a pint, or six, with them. I find that when they take a break, such as the one in October 2021, I genuinely miss having them as part of my day. I tend to listen in bits of ten to fifteen minutes as I run my errands, shave in the morning, etc. I always find that I am looking forward to the next episode. They genuinely don’t take themselves too seriously, which makes their views more realistic to me. Cheers to a podcast well done! Please keep it up. Dwight Sperry, Texas, USA

    My favorite Apple-related podcast
    Karl and his friends are consistently friendly, very informative, and light-hearted. Always pleased when I see a new episode is available.

    This is an Informative, thorough, and Entertaining Podcast
    This is a Superb Mac-related Podcast! The Gents are very knowledgeable, absolutely thorough, and entertaining enough to prevent any boredom or staleness. Subjects covered are relevant, recent, newsworthy,and all necessary questions are answered and clarified in a very good format. You get News,Reviews,How-to’s, and predictions in one Podcast, that makes it nearly unnecessary to seek information from other sources. I really appreciate the way that they don’t step on each other, interrupt each other unnecessarily, and ask or expand on the relevant questions and speculations. Top quality, without any wasted time!

    My Saturday indulgence
    This is without a doubt my favorite Apple related podcast. Always funny, lighthearted, and entertaining. I’m a self admitted Anglophile and Apple fan so this is two of my favorite things all jammed into one ear sandwich. Matthew @skrimfid

    Five Stars
    I have been enjoying this podcast for a couple years and have found it to be smart and witty, (on occasion one more than the other) but enjoyable regardless. The last year has seen the ring master, Karl Madden, switch it up a little, but not at the expense of the shows quality. Karl is an easy going pro and even guesting on other podcasts, ups their game as well. Lastly,I would like to mention that I think that his current co-host Alan Vickers has done a good job seamlessly coming into the mix! Greg Flad NYC ,U.S.A.

    unbiased
    A great place for unbiased and sometimes fanboy apple news and reviews. Keep up the great work.

    Great podcast
    Karl and gang put together a great podcast on Apple and I enjoy listening every time! It is nice to get a perspective on tech from people outside the U.S. Doubt I would have ever heard the term "nice piece of kit" used to describe something cool if I did not listen. Will raise a beer to The Mac & Forth Show next time I am out with friends and be appalled with them if they don't already listen.

    Great Mac Podcast
    I have been watching and listening to this podcast from the beginning and have looked forward to each episode. Karl’s interview on Rampant Mumblings made me understand why I like the show. It is Karl, his happy disposition, His choice of guests and partners and the light hearted but to the point discussions. Thanks Karl, I am glad you left that previous show - I gave up watching after you left

    Really Great Stuff
    One of my favorite go-to podcasts. Interesting, informative, and fun. The extra comedy bits and dramatic readings give the show a lot of character. Highly entertaining with great perspectives. Def worth a listen!

    Give it a try, Apple news without the angst.
    I felt compelled to write a review after Karl started whining about not getting any this week (reviews, that is). Good info, enjoyable conversation in a relaxed style. Well worth checking out.
