Connected #215: Live from NYC: A Nightmare Level of Itching⇢

We just wrapped up a very special live episode of Connected, and yes, it is nearly 1 AM here on the East Coast. Podcasting never sleeps.

Stephen and Myke are joined by Marco Arment for a live show in New York City. The three talk about the iPhone XR, the iPhones we loved the most, and what Apple could do to make us the happiest after its event next week.

I love doing live shows, and I think we will be doing many more in the future. If you made it to either this recording or the one we did in Chicago, thank you.

Liftoff #83: Apollo 7⇢

On Liftoff, Jason and I are marking the 50th anniversary of each crewed Apollo mission. Up first, Apollo 7:

In October 1968, Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele and Walter Cunningham spent 11 days in space working the bugs out of the Apollo spacecraft on its first crewed mission. The vehicle performed perfectly; the crew did not.

This is a mission that would have faded into history apart from the mutiny.
