This week on the show:

Apple is handing out awards, and Myke is dealing with the fallout of his TV purchase. Stephen is aware that musicians exist and Federico wants all the 2020 rumors to be true.

We also talk about that weird 13-inch MacBook Pro support document and how the Mac Pro’s pending launch may look. I also screwed up the intro, yet again.

Commercial Crew is moving forward, Vikram’s crash site has been found, and there’s a big black hole in the news. There are also claims of a new particle, but questions surround the announcement.

Me, on the Relay FM blog:

Today, we are proud to announce Pictorial, a new Relay FM podcast about art history and culture.

It is hosted by Quinn Rose and Betty Chen. Quinn is a podcaster and producer, and Betty is host of the ARTiculations channel on YouTube. They are both non-professional art enthusiasts who love to share about anything and everything that can be remotely considered as art.

I am excited to have this show on Relay, and working with Betty and Quinn on it has been a real joy.

This time on Ungeniused, we go a bit long on a timeless topic:

Deep under the waters of Loch Ness swims a mystery that has haunted humankind for centuries … or it could be exploding logs and hoaxes. Who knows.

This week on MPU, I put on an old Apple Store t-shirt, strapped on a static-safe wristband and got to work:

Stephen steps behind the Genius Bar — or into the Genius Grove, as it were — to provide tips for troubleshooting Macs, iOS device and iCloud. Then, he and David talk about the new 16-inch MacBook Pro and how someone should prioritize features when buying a new computer.

This week, on our Thanksgiving holiday special:

There are a lot of iPhone cases to talk about, as well as new information about HomeKit Secure Video and Deep Fusion. One of us bought a TV, but no one here is ordering a Cybertruck.

Enjoy the aftershow; it was a lot of fun to talk about Tesla’s new truck.

This week on Connected:

Federico and Stephen each attempted to use HomeKit Secure Video, and it didn’t go well. Myke is excited about a new folding phone, and the whole crew orders iPhone 11 Pro battery cases before solving many mysteries presented in photos of Apple’s new Mac Pro factory.

Things got weird this week, and there are … a lot … of chapters in this episode:

This week on Liftoff, we’re marking the 50th anniversary of the second lunar mission:

Apollo 12 forever lives in the shadow of the mission before it, but it shouldn’t. Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and Al Bean made plenty of their own history, with some terror and plenty of laughs along the way.

Not every mission starts by getting hit by lightning two times.
