This week on Connected: the end of iCloud Drive follow-up, the start of my independent life and my super-late Apple Watch review and then the return of “weekly” picks.

Connected 50: The Edition Episode⇢
We hit the big 5-0 this week on Connected:
On the golden anniversary of Connected, the crew sits down to talk about Apple Pay in the UK, Apple News and RSS before sharing a little about how they write articles and prepare for podcasts.
I was surprised to learn how alike Federico and I are alike in the way we approach our writing. This episode was a fun break for us, and I think you’ll enjoy it.
Talking space⇢
Earlier this afternoon, Jason Snell and I sat down to talk about New Horizon’s Pluto discoveries, a newly-discovered Earth-like planet and why space is back in the news.
E.W. Scripps buys Midroll podcast ad network⇢
Natalie Jarvey:
Midroll Media, which operates an advertising network for podcasts including WTF with Marc Maron and Nerdist, has been acquired for an undisclosed price by E.W. Scripps Co.
Old media making a grab in the new world.
Connected 47: Bingo Machine for Schedules⇢
This week, we talk about me “going indie,” Apple Music, and Federico’s second Apple Watch.

Connected 46: It’s Not a Feature; It’s a Feeling⇢

Ten years ago, Apple brought podcasting to iTunes
Ten years ago this month, at WWDC 2005, Apple brought podcasting to iTunes.
The feature launched on June 28, 2005, three weeks after the keynote. Here’s the Apple PR Machine:
Apple today announced it is taking Podcasting mainstream by building everything users need to discover, subscribe, manage and listen to Podcasts right into iTunes 4.9, the latest version of its award winning digital music software and online music store. iTunes users can now easily subscribe to over 3,000 free Podcasts and have each new episode automatically delivered over the Internet to their computer and iPod.
Connected 44: Ignorance By Design⇢
I missed Connected this week, but it’s a good one:
This week the Europeans are going it alone to talk about the new iOS Notes app, iOS 9 on the iPad, Editorial 1.2, and whether WatchKit should have existed.

On Apple Watch and podcasting⇢
While I can’t wait to be able to leave my iPhone behind and listen to an episode of a podcast stored just on my Watch, the idea of recording a show with it is downright laughable.
Relay FM’s summer pilots⇢
This morning, Myke and I announced two new shows on Relay FM, the podcast network we launched last August.
Cortex and Reconcilable Differences are both amazing shows. The hosts are some of the best in the business. As I told Myke earlier this week, three-years-ago-me would have been floored to think about working with guys like Merlin, Siracusa and CGP Grey.
We have committed to ten episode of each show, and while they may go beyond that, the idea of short-run shows is something Myke and I talked a lot about when founding the network. This sort of experimenting was one of the reasons we wanted to build Relay.
Connected 42: Intellectual Ambiguity⇢
This week on Connected, Myke and I talk to Russell Ivanovic about Google Photos and then go on to make their WWDC predictions.
