<p>We start 2022 the same way we finished up 2021: by looking at some of the top Apple and tech stories with <strong>Ken Ray </strong>of <strong><a href="http://macosken.com">macOSKen</a>. </strong>Ken and Chuck finish up a discussion of the rise of the metaverse concept, then turn to an in-depth discussion of why Apple TV+ is different than other streaming services, and why it is and will continue to be important to Apple. The show wraps up with where Apple fits into the Work From Home movement, both past, present, and future. (2) </p>

A slightly skewed, sometimes cynical, obsessive look at Apple news, five-days-a-week. Ken also produces <a href="https://www.securemac.com/topics/checklist"><strong>The Checklist by SecureMac</strong></a>, a security-oriented podcast, and his newest show is<a href="https://macosken.squarespace.com/inafewminutes"> <strong>In A Few Minutes</strong></a>.
