Essential Podcast Listening: ‘Mac Geek Gab’

Aug 20, 2025

This week’s pick is so obvious that I almost didn’t bother. Just in case the two of you who were recently rescued from a shipwreck in 2004 don’t know yet, you need to add Mac Geek Gab to your regular listening regimen.

Mac Geek Gab recently joined the small but growing group of podcasts that have achieved a 20-year run, and show no signs of slowing down. Current hosts Dave Hamilton, “Pilot Pete” Harmon, and former MacCast host Adam Christianson solve listener problems, deliver “cool stuff” product and service picks and Quick Tips, and in general geek out on any and all Apple product issues. From the very simple to the very technical, if you listen you are likely to achieve one of the show’s stated goals, “…to learn at least 5 new things each time…”

Dave, Pete, and Adam take a welcoming, comfortable approach to a set of topics that could quickly intimidate many listeners. Instead, you find out how expert troubleshooters think and approach their craft. If you want to take consuming Mac Geek Gab to another level, they webcast the recording of the show live and post them to YouTube.??Give it a try, even if you are not having any issues with your Apple tech. You will come away smarter.
