I usually listen to the Mac Power Users podcast on Mondays, but I couldn’t wait this week. I just finished listening to Mac Power Users #836 with Stephen Robles as the new co-host a few minutes ago, and he nailed it! For those of you who haven’t heard yet, Stephen Hackett has stepped aside to focus on other projects, so David Sparks needed a new tech partner. After searching high and low, I am sure, he invited Stephen Robles to fill the big chair.
Although not as long as I have been a Mac Power Users fan, I’ve been a fan of Stephen Robles for a while now. He makes excellent YouTube videos and co-hosts a weekly tech news-focused podcast called Primary Tech with Jason Aten. It’s one of the shows I look forward to every week. They’re a great team. Anyway, Stephen brought that same energy to the MPU audience this weekend. His enthusiasm was contagious, and the chemistry with David was flawless. He fits right in.
He earned this spot not because he has a YouTube channel or another podcast, but because he truly knows his stuff, is genuinely excited to talk about it, and is naturally curious. In my opinion, he was the best possible choice.
What an exciting time. I feel better after listening to the episode because, frankly, I was a bit hesitant. I like both of these guys, but I wasn’t sure how well they’d mesh. It’s not an easy thing to step into.
Of course, I’ll miss Stephen Hackett on MPU. But I’m sure he’ll be back as a guest, and I’ll keep following his work through his other podcasts and his writing at 512 Pixels.
Congratulations, Mac Power Users team. I’m super happy to be part of this community. It’s like my comfort zone, and I appreciate it staying at such a high quality.
