I used to listen to these guys back in 2015. Fell out of date and running on old Apple products. I’m back and let me tell you this App has came a VERY long way!! This App knocks it out of the park! It has been totally catalogued, you can bookmark any section and add your own bookmark title to it for a later time. Finding show notes and links is super simple. If it’s a article or product you’re just a few clicks away. John, Dave & Pilot Pete have a great dynamic. If it’s Apple it’s here.
