We start with the very sad news that Tim Roberton, founder of MyMac, podcasting pioneer, and mentor and enabler to many, many novices to podcasting has passed away, peacefully at home with his family after a short illness. I am sure you will all join myself and Nick in sending our deepest sympathies to all of his family and friends everywhere. After that Simon and Nick take their usual circuitous route through the “silly season” news they considered interesting enough and, as ever, some other stuff as well… Sound is back to normal btw… don’t really know what fixed it, I just fiddled a bit and tested and the problem was gone (thankfully!) After the sad death of Tim Robertson, please consider making a donation, no matter how small, to the GoFundMe to help support Tim’s wife and four children at this difficult time.
