06 Jun 2024I’m Known on My iPad as an iPad Guy01:00:00

Welcome to Comfort Zone! This is a show about exploring new and interesting tech, and stepping outside your comfort zone to expand your horizons (whether you want to or not).

In this debut episode, we talk about what Apple should steal from the Meta Quest 3, how an iPad enthusiast takes advantage of a new Mac, and how precious family photos were saved from being lost to time.

Then there's the challenge! We all spent a few weeks using Apple Reminders for task management, and our challenge for week 2 is something none of us saw coming…

02 Jun 2024Welcome to Comfort Zone00:02:06

Comfort Zone is a podcast that pushes its hosts outside of their, well, comfort zone. Every week, each host will bring new technology they've tried to the show to discuss whether it worked and how it pushed them out of their comfort zone. 

Then, at the conclusion of each episode, one of the hosts will issue the dreaded challenge to the others to try something new, and perhaps even something they might not like. It's a fun, fresh way to learn something new, along with the hosts every week.

25 Jul 2024Have You Heard the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?01:24:31
