My favourite Apple podcast

When I first got into the Apple universe about 8 years ago, I searched for and listened to many Apple related podcasts. These days I'm down to two only, and Mac Power Users is by far my favourite! David and Katie are genuine and relateable people and rarely fail to deliver a new tip or trick to make my tech life easier or more enjoyable. Newbies should not be deterred by the "power user" title as there's something to learn for users of all levels.

Long time listener

I'm a long time listener to this show (I've gone back through the entire backlog).
This podcast was like a gateway drug to me - I heard someone mention it, so I thought I'd give this podcast thing a try. I downloaded an episode of this and was hooked into the whole world of being a nerd.
I've never felt so welcome and I love the community that David and Katie have helped me find.
After all these years, the episodes are still great, and David and Katie are some of the most professional and best hosts around.
They have however been a bit of a drain on my poor wallet!

Informative, Useful and Fun

This podcast was recommended by a friend a few years ago, when I purchased my first Mac. I’ve found it to be consistently informative, very useful and a lot of fun to listen to. It’s also increased my productively with the Mac significantly. I enjoy the dynamic between David and Katie and particularly like that both are not afraid to challenge Apple over particular issues or lack of functionality.
Mac Power Users is now a regular weekly download!

Essential Listening

Simply the best Apple & Mac related podcast for best practices, workflows, tips, tricks and recommended apps to make life fun, easy and interesting.
Thanks so much David and Katie Floyd :)

Solid Gold...

The amount of tips you pick up on this podcast is wonderful. You can tell they prepare well, which means you are alway going to get quality material. Especially appreciate the deep dive stuff. Great for Mac heads who aren't programmers, but are closer to the 'power user' end of the spectrum - or those who are heading in that direction.
Well done and thank you, David and Katie. Keep up the good work.

Well Done Power Users

David and Katie, thanks for your episode with Craig Hockenberry, and just about every other episode you put out. What a great pleasure to listen to. Heard the podcast yesterday, and opened Twitterific this morning, and "wow" the revised Interface/display is so clear, crisp and readable. Its truly awesome. Again thanks for a wonderful podcast series.

Consistently great

This is the first podcast I listen to every week now and it continues to deliver geeky reviews, workflows and tips & tricks for the mac user. A very entertaining and informative variety of topics are covered and the hosts are very engaging and easy to listen to. This is highly recommended.

Fantastic podcast

Mac Power Users is a great podcast, I have listened to every episode from the very start, love the show. Katie and David do a great job of teaching how to get more out of your Mac and iPad. I definitely spend a lot more money on apps after listening to them, and find myself playing with lots of fun new apps and getting lots of ideas about how to get things done more efficiently, which is great. On a side note, David's books are fantastic too. Thankyou Katie and David, keep up the great work

Most useful Mac Podcast bar none.

Thank you David & Katie - There are so many awesome tips, workflows, tools, hacks, in each episode that it can be almost overwhelming. As a seasoned beginner (not power user) I find it useful to go through the tools from one or two episodes and see if I can implement them. I try not to get obsessed with every bit of gear and software discussed. This podcast + screencasts online + practice , can make a Mac power user out of anyone.
Looking forward to episode 100.

I love this podcast, I now have so much more free time.

Even though the title says "Power Users" this podcast has something for everyone. David and Katie are using their Macs from the perspective of real users and not the full geek status so their tips are genuinely relevant to the people that are using their Macs to get work done. The tips on automating day to day items and filing has firstly made it so much easier to find things fast as well as given me so much more free time to do the things I enjoy on my Mac as well as more time with family and friends.
I have struggled with disorganisation from ADHD for years and although I have medication for it now I really hate the side effects, I feel after setting up so many automated processes I have learned from this podcast I may be able to kill the pills as I know the tasks I overlooked once are now being handled.
The guests who offer their workflow tips are always interesting and I love hearing how people from all walks of life make their living from their Macs.
One of the best podcasts on iTunes.

Well done on a fantastic, informative podcast. The level of detail you cover is unfortunately unique, and I enjoy every episode.

Fantastic Show

MPU is a great podcast, and I am extremely glad to have found it. David and Katie are excellent hosts who really know what they're talking about. One thing I really love are the workflow interviews with guests. Also, through the sponsers of MPU I have simplified my own workflow, and found some amazing tools that are highly regarded by David and Katie. A truly fabulous podcast

Great show

Very informative, goes into a lot of detail. I'm always learning something new I didn't know.

Good information.

Mostly. But they talk so slowly that I can play the podcasts on double speed and there are STILL gaps. It is so annoying!
And they interrupt their guests too much. If they invite in experts, they should let the experts talk.
I've also e-mailed them to correct them with some of their incorrect information. Just a dismissive mention on the show.

If you love your mac, this is a great show

Congratulations to Katie and David: this is a fantastic program. I am listening through the back catalogue now, and after every show I come away with a great new tip or idea to try on my mac or Ipad.

Excellent

This was one of the first podcasts I have ever listened to (I started at about six months ago). After learning so much from the show I decided to explore other podcasts in the Apple arena.
I was really disappointed with the other podcasts. They were either way too complicated or seemed to ramble on totally off topic.
Well done Katie and David. Keep up the great work!
A big fan from Australia.

Hope it continues to be great

The move to the 5by5 network will be a test for this podcast. The new theme is pedestrian as I much preferred the old theme that conjures excitement and expectation of the content of the show. I feel that Dave and Katie have lost a little control of the program since moving to 5by5, and therefore a little of that raw edge of a great podcast show. All the listeners of the 5by5 network have given great feedback regarding then show, little wonder why. This podcast is the jewel in the crown of the 5by5 network.
I have been a follower of MPU for a long time, and find most podcast shows informative. Love the workflow programs, especially from people who use Macs for creative purposes.

Mac talk that's focussed, on topic and practical

I've been a long-time MPU listener and just love the show.
There are lots of podcasts by apple enthusiasts who ramble on without really getting very far. Katie and David's show is focussed, on topic and practical. The occasional workflow episodes, where they have a guest in to talk about how they get things done, are a real highlight. I'm only an aspiration 'power user' so have learned a lot from this podcast about getting the most out of my mac.
Congratulations on the move to the 5by5 network.

Great Show, Great to See on 5 By 5 Network

Never heard of this show until it migrated to the 5 By 5 Network, and that's the point of the move. Great show, good hosts, good talk. Not a news show, which is good. I get plenty of news, so it's good to hear more in-depth discussion.
