Shows

Connected

Connected is a weekly panel discussion on Apple and the impact of technology on our lives. With each co-host having a unique background — and accent — Connected provides a perspective that no other show can.

Remaster

A show about playing games and making games. Federico and Myke have long been thoughtful observers of the games industry, an industry Shahid has been a part of for over 30 years. Coupling this life-long love of games with a lifetime of experience makes Remaster a show you don’t want to miss.

Retired Shows

Adapt

Adapt was a show all about the iPad, where two iPad-first users challenge each other to explore new ways of doing things with their favorite device.

Canvas

Canvas was a podcast all about mobile productivity. Armed with iOS, Federico and Fraser walked through workflows, explored the best apps for the iPad and iPhone, and helped users solve problems.

The Prompt

The Prompt was a weekly panel discussion on technology, and the culture surrounding Apple and related companies. It evolved into Connected in 2014.

Virtual

A show about games, gamers, game makers and the surrounding culture. Virtual focused on the titles that laid the foundations of gaming as we know it today.
