I have listened to this show since 2006. The show moved from news to “news/opinions” from financial analysts to more and more opinions and less news. I’m very disappointed in content over the last few years.

MacOS Ken delivers the latest Apple news with dry, witty humor that makes it a fun and essential part of my morning routine. A great mix of news, analysis, and just the right amount of opinion. Ken is a fantastic broadcaster—always engaging and insightful!

Listened to for years and used to be concise and actually about Apple. Lately has devolved into tiresome Trump Derangement Syndrome rantings. I guess new media isn’t much different than legacy media. I hope Ken gets his MOJO back and loses the lefty politics.

Consistent, Coherent, Constant & Complementary analysis and commentary on industry status with an Apple centric focus. Best tech podcast without doubt! Thank you for decades of Mac OS Ken.

Thank You Ken

Been a listener for 15 years!!! Great Mac show

Ken, good on you for your mini-editorial on Cook’s donation to the Inauguration Committee. Why did he not donate to Biden’s? Probably the same fear of potential and threatened retribution, in 2020 by the rabid and violent people that led an insurrection and their ilk. Yes, how does he look his employees in the eye? While his reason, is reasoned, it is too cool, and his employees and customers are humans harmed by the daily attacks by the Trumpublicans. Cook better be doing some serious lobbying for his employees and customers!

This is a good daily podcast to get news about Apple and tech in general. He’s completely independent - not a corporate shill. It’s a great show to listen to while you start your workday.

I listen to Mac OS Ken for tech news not political opinion. Keep the tech & drop the politics, or change the title to The Liberal Mac OS Ken podcast.

MacOS Ken is a great one-stop shop for what's happening in the Apple ecosystem. Ken covers Apple news, releases, and a little bit of opinion all delivered with a lot of personality and wry humor. I can't give it a better recommendation than to say that it's one of my daily listens.

Simply the BEST, most sincere, succinct, daily, reliable, timely, newsworthy Apple podcast. I’ve been listening for 10-12 yrs, from nearly the start. The only time I don’t like it is when Ken takes a vacation day once in a while! My day is incomplete. I sometimes don’t agree with his cultural or political take, but I respect it and that’s because he respects his audience. He even welcomes feedback. Mac OSKen is the best podcast I listen to. And I listen to many many. Do yourself a favor and become a daily listener. And donate to his Patreon. He earns it. Thanks, Ken, for starting off my days right.

MacOSKen is simply indispensable. Start your weekdays with this dose of tech news and you’ll be in the know on all the stuff that’s worth knowing. Is it addictive? Maybe. Is it nutritious? Not sure. But it’s the best.

Updating my original review (below), as it is over 5 years old… this remains an informative and entertaining podcast. The format has remained the same: I’ll add that the topics included include a reasoning of ‘why’ that news topic is (or is not) meaningful, which is helpful to the listener. This remains a great way to keep up with news about Apple business and their product and service offerings. ———— I’ve enjoyed MacOS Ken’s podcast since I first heard it. If you are interested in the different developments regarding Apple and its markets, Ken gives an entertaining summary. For each story, he tends to also explain whether he believes the report, and how it may be important to either Apple, or you, the consumer. He keeps it entertaining and meaningful. As there are a few podcasts each week, the topics covered are very timely. He spends as much time on each topic as is needed. As he isn’t trying to fill a pre-set amount of time, there isn’t any ‘fluff’ in the podcasts. I recommend it!

Mac OS Ken continues to be one of the best shows out there. Truly a Mac news OG, Ken’s delivery and humor are a delight. (works as sarcasm and sincerity) Listen and you will enjoy. Trust me. And maybe send him a few quatloos…

Ken knows EVERYTHING! Just ask him if you don’t believe me! Seriously, the kind of liberal that will make you hate being a liberal 😖

The content is good, relevant and to the point for the most part. However the host’s style of delivery is extremely annoying, so much so that I often stop listening by about half-way through the episode.

I find your show incredibly entertaining. Your delivery is impeccable. However, the knowledge sometimes seems to be lacking, especially when you speak about the stock market even though you admit that you don’t know very much about stocks and bonds, you seem to make a lot of assumptions about what’s making stocks, go up and down on a daily basis you have to remember that people buy and sell stocks, primarily based on their feelings not on logic so when you see Stocks go up and down it’s not because of what one company or another is doing it can be lots of other factors involved such as the direction of the economy and their feelings about it this is not necessarily anything to do with how any company is handling their business For a company like Apple, which does their projections on a long-term basis, it is essential to note that when Apple stock goes up and then goes back down again, think of it this way since the 80s the Apple stock has climbed more than 1000% that’s what we’re looking for the overall trajectory of the stock and the companies long-term profitability

As a Long time listener I can not imagine my morning espresso with Ken's curated Apple info, sense of humor. His long experience reporting on all things Apple puts the iPhone, Mac machinations into perspective. Long Live MacOs Ken!

Mac OS Ken is a great way to start the day with Mac and Apple news. I learn something every day.

I been listening for a long time, enjoy the apple related news & updates. But it seems in the past year or so the podcast has gotten shorter & shorter....its now about 17 minutes...used to be 30 minutes or more.....half or which are spoken repeated ads. I understand why the ads are there but do they have to be so frequent? its getting annoying.

Mac OS Ken is, by far, the best Mac news source out there. His coverage of what's going on in the Mac world is superbly matched with his wit and humor. Every weekday's commute starts with this awesome show! Ken rocks!

Ken starts my day; content rich, spot-on timely comments and delivered with personality. Always manages to sort through the mass of info out there to get to the most relevant; he offers facts and opinions both that clarify and entertain. I only wish they were longer so am happy to see that he is now on Mac Observer Daily.

I look forward to listening to This podcast everyday!!

I always enjoy listening to this show. Good Apple news, and Mac computer news. The microphone audio quality used is very good and easy to listen to. High quality Apple podcast, recommended.

Experience great Apple news podcasting with Ken Ray. I like Ken’s curation and delivery. A great way to stay up to date on all things Apple.

…that’s ever been aired. Well done, sir. Please keep it fresh and funny when appropriate…and won’t cause the Coasts to fall into their respective oceans.

You know how the fastest way to go through the day’s tech headlines is to skim an RSS feed or MacSurfer? Mac OSKen sifts through the cruft, then presents the story to you. Priceless.

Ken Ray is one of the gold standards in podcasting! If you want to follow Apple news. He's your guy! Rock on Ken!

Ken Ray has a swagger, a style, and a confidence built over a decade of podcasting tech news and his other interests. He clearly has the ear of others in the industry and experience only gained through thoughtful attention over time. If you want analysis, insight and humor. This podcast will not disappoint.

I listen to Ken every weekday morning. Great high quality news podcast with some laughs thrown in occasionally.

Ken doesn’t just read the headlines and regurgitate them in my podcast feed, he injects his own personality into each story. His own voice. Best way to start each day, if you want to know the latest Mac news.

Love the show. But the ratio of ads to content is just too high. And the ad reads are too long. Recent ones has Ken having to repeat the brand 3 or 4 times its subtle mental programming and its gross. I skip the ads where on other podcasts I don’t because they’re not so in your face or long or repetitive.

Love Mac OS Ken. Listen everyday!

Ken keeps you up to date on the happenings in the Apple universe with a concise and witty morning review. Begin the day with a friendly voice...

I look forward to his podcast every day. His delivery and take on Apple news is refreshing and entertaining interspersed with humorous bits. I listened to his previous podcast as well as the new one. As a matter of fact, I like to listen to this one first and then the other, kinda like a sequel.

this show is really awesome and it’s all show was educational purposes who find intriguing about apple and coronavirus update.

I’ve been listening to macosken for several years now. He is part of my daily routine and my “In” to everything Mac. Love his style and dare I say ...snarkiness in stories he reports. I have to say he is one of the only people I support, via patreon.com Yes, he is that good! I have followed him on “Mission Log” but alas, something went down between who knows what/who and he left the Mission Log podcast. Their loss for sure. Anyway, you cannot go wrong with MacOsKen...It is a true pleasure to listen to every day.

I have been listening to MacOS Ken for several years! He is on top of all the news that concerns and affects Apple and all of its products including Apple released news, industry analysts reports for investing, suppliers, government policies, trade wars and competitors. If you want to know about Apple, and you choose to listen to this podcast Monday through Friday, you will be very well informed!

Ken gives a great overview of Apple news including the business side in a fun and quick show. Perfect shower length show played at 1.5x speed (I listen to all my podcasts and audiobooks this way). Where Ken excess above others podcasts is his professional skills. Speaking ability, great voice, delivery, etc. He’s radio talent doing a podcast, versus a Mac lover/hobbyist who decided to create a podcast. If you are interested in all things Apple then this should be your starting daily dose of news.

Since Podcasts App has been lacking for me, I’m back to listening to my on time, best Informer-Reporter of Apple related News. Thanks, Ken Ray, for rocking since the first episode!

I look forward to listening every day, have been a listener for many years, very happy! I know Ken needs time off, it is very hard on me, Major Void when there is no Daily show! But I understand, Ken thanks for all you do! Sebastian

We have been listening to Mac OS Ken for over a decade. We get great summaries of all Apple News so we know what’s going on with the latest in Apple Tech. Short and sweet, Ken delivers the information and you don’t have to be a techie to understand it at all. Great resource! Love listening on my morning commute!

Reminds me of Paul Harvey am I dating myself hmmmm...

A quick, well put together dose of apple news. Ken is great. Live long and prosper

I like this podcast and look forward to each episode. Facinating host.

If you intereted in Apple but don't have time to live online, this is your podcast. 10-15 minutes a day and you are up to date. Its not in-depth of course, for that you need to go online, but atleast you now know what to look for, and know you are not missing out on something.

This is a great podcast for Apple related news. Thanks Ken!

I’ve been a former DJ in college and went to school to avoid the “radio voice” and focus on being yourself. I’ve learned to be ‘natural’ and entertaining is a calling or some call talent. Delivering a personalized Apple podcast everyday, at this level, is unheard of (pun not intended). To the listener who rated this as “Trying to hard”, bless you, for you probably don’t like sunshine or have an embarrassment of riches. If you have found something greater than this podcast on Apple. Please share.

Side jokes and sponsor plugs are an annoyance as well as “radio voice”. Content is interesting, but delivery subpar. Sounds like a broadcasting major’s college project.

Ken Ray is THE Mac broadcaster emeritus. No Spin. No Fat. Just 15 minutes of the BEST Mac Podcast available.
