This week we have a few mini-topics including our attention while listening to podcasts, the English language, accents, and pronunciation, as well as family plan pricing and subscriptions. Our main topic is our podcast setup. We talk about the hardware, software, and everything in between that we use to publish each episode of the show!

The Accidental Sport Podcast returns, followed by a discussion on search engines and privacy, and analytics in apps. Which search engine should be the default on iOS?
Our main topic this week is Twitter - is every Tweet just a shout into the void?
Finally, join us for our picks – which include some developer tools and trick for developers.
In the post show we discuss Siri Shortcuts and customising Siri with the ability we each want individually, and wrap up by talking about air quality, dust, and bushfires.

Our main topic this week is all about our data backup solutions. We also learn what an “Instagram Menu” is, discuss tipping culture and sales tax, give an exciting emoji update, and talk about do not disturb and how we think it could be improved as a feature. Our post-show is an hour-long discussion about the first two seasons of NBC’s The Good Place.

This week begins with some follow-up about Zach’s talk at Cocoaheads. Minimal homework was also completed as we tried Twist and Microsoft Teams. Zach is horrified to learn that Kai and Malin store git repositories in online sync systems, and we speculate about when Apple might announce the next iPhone(s). The main topic this week is Twitter alternatives - the things we’ve tried, and the things we like. As always, we wrap up by adding another three apps to our list.
