New Podcast Answers Mac, iPod and iPhone Questions
The questions come from listeners of the new podcast, or from viewers of MacMost's videos or readers of MacMost's Web site content. Topics range from the Mac OS, to applications like iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and third-party utilities for the Mac. The podcast will also cover topics related to the iPhone and iPod.
"The idea is to produce a daily series of tips, tricks and techniques based on questions that listeners ask," said the show's host, Gary Rosenzweig. "Over the course of a few episodes there should be something for everyone."
The episodes are short, from one to two minutes long, and are in a standard mp3 format so they will play on any computer or mp3 player.
"This new show is definitely a two-way street," said Rosenzweig. "It will be a conversation between myself and the listeners. "
Rosenzweig said that listeners are free to try to ask him anything. Technical questions are what he expects, but he also hopes to talk about news, rumors, and any topic concerning Apple or technology. The only qualifications for a question is whether it will be interesting to the audience and whether he can answer it in one to two minutes.
