Enjoy the latest episodes from MacStories’ family of podcasts:
Comfort Zone
Matt wants to wrap up conversation on Liquid Glass, Niléane has a music app that feels like it’s from 2004 (and we mean that in a few good ways), and Chris judges everyone on how well they relaxed last week.
On Cozy Zone, the gang compares what they do with their old tech and packaging. Needless to say, there are some shocking revelations.
