Hate speech is harmful
Two white privileged techbros chugging Elon is the last thing I expected from this show.

Not up for the Elon bukkake
Maybe I’ll come back, if Leander does, but so over this pretending hate and bigotry is no big deal. Of corse the right wing Trumper guy is for it, but what’s the passing for white Jewish guys excuse? An enterprise based in ego and capitalism is never gonna be free, so why not do the right thing… Unsubscribe

Bring back Buster or Leander or add someone else!
It's still funny and informative but not as good w/ only 2 guys on it. Please bring back Buster or Leander or add someone.

For the love of god, Erfon, Lewis is terrible. Bring back Kahney, Buster, or just someone new altogether. The show just isn’t as good as it used to be.

MAGA supporters in disguise
Listened to these guys for awhile and they made some really subtle political comments that seemed off beat. Their latest episode talking/joking about the “FBI raiding their homes” made me do some research on the hosts. These are Trump supporters which honestly makes so much sense… sleazy dudes trying to sell you a $20 microfiber rag like it’s better than any other microfiber rag. These dudes are not good people and honestly not very educated on Apple products. Listener beware…

Hard nips
I have a ritual I do every week before listening to my cult cast. It begins with registering a new website on square space. Then, I @ Alex Excelsior Heath on Twitter and wait a few minutes for a response. Finally, I wipe the sweat off my forehead with the one and only Cult Cloth. I sew them together to make a new towel size.

My favorite Apple/tech podcast
Excellent show hosted by an even more amazing cast. I live on the east coast and always look forward to downloading the show on Fridays to enjoy on my commute to work. I’ve been listening for almost a year now and my only regret is that I wish I had found this podcast sooner! P.S. The Cult Cloth really is amazing. Do yourself a favor and buy one.

Lander Breathing
I know Lander has an AMSR fetish but I do not. Until he learns to breath properly, this show is unlistenable to me.

Smart Commentary, Humorous presentation
I got weary of politics being a part of some other tech podcasts. I started trying out other shows. I have stayed with this show. The panelists are technically astute. They know the Apple product line and stay current. They do not take themselves too seriously. They do communicate the tech accurately. Enjoyable show. I have replayed a few episodes since I began listening because it’s a fun show to hear.

Best apple podcast
Best apple podcast and it has the best nostril noise. I enjoy hearing about apple and what’s found on because I am still using a power book G4. At the moment it is on pieces on my desk as I try to repair it. By the way for a good case check out life proof. I have one on my iPhone 6 and I have dropped it 10000000000 times and it has not bent once. And Erfon stop complaining of the 1080p of cinomatic mode just download a AI upscaler for all your videos in your Mack book pro! I used one on my old g4 and it works great after I gave it awhile because of old cpu and gpu.

Invest more time in better audio production
Look I love the show. The atmosphere is great and the banter even better. But the heavy breathing. And the background noise. It’s like they don’t pay any attention to properly recording the show and editing it: separate clean recordings, editing out uhh and um etc and then the heavy breathing which is creepy come on.

I dislike multiple host podcasts where they excitedly talk over each other and present very little original material. This one is like listening to a bunch of teenage boys. Not for me.

For me, this is the number podcast covering Apple. They don’t take themselves so seriously, as some do in the podcasting, tech world. It’s like hanging out and talking with your buddies. And the nasal sounds are incredible on this podcast! Keep it up!

Helps My Baby Sleep
I had no idea that there was actual talking until my baby kept waking up and then I realized that through the nasally white noise, that you guys were talking about Apple. You guys really found your niche with the nostril droning. It’s like no other podcast out there! Bravo! I’m not sure you guys know but your talking does come through and we can hear you. So some minor adjustments to your volume levels to tone down your voices and this is a 6 star podcast.

Great show, but please stop trying to do the youtube simulcast
This was my favorite podcast until you guys started turned it into a live YouTube broadcast. I hate waiting for you guys to switch to “browser mode,” and I feel like the video takes a lot away from the audio version of the podcast. More people listen to the audio podcast—please give the people what they want, an audio podcast! If you guys really want to do the video thing, why not do two versions of the show: a podcast version and then a video show with different material. I would subscribe to both in a heartbeat. All that criticism aside, I love the show.

Experience the soothing echoes from deep inside the Nostral cavities of Leander. A sound that should be regulated as Auditory weed. Please listen responsibly. Listening for too long Side effects include turning into Erfon.

ASMR Nose Respiration for your Hearts
Ha! Call to arms, Erfon! (Ep. 500) - 5 stars for the Leander’s nose breathing! Joking aside, I’ve never noticed L. Kahney’s nose breathing on any prior podcasts. Big fan of the show for a long time, both audio and now video. Fantastic weekly content! Come for the (sporadic) Apple news, stay for the banter.

THE BEST PODCAST!
I listen to a lot of technology podcast, but they are typically so dull, monotone and for the most part humorless. Well, no worries with the Cultcast. It is by far my favorite podcast. I've been laughing right along with Erfon, Buster and Leander (and Alex... I had a hard time telling Alex and Buster apart in the early days) since day one. Erfon is a fantastic host; funny with a great laugh, despite his early Cultcast episodes where I thought they brought a surfer dude into the studio to host the show. He is now a professional and I only wish the three of them were hosting other podcasts together because what a great team they are. My favorite part may just be the very end of the podcast with the banter back-and-forth prior to the official beginning of the podcast. Again, very funny and it always always leaves me with a smile on my face. Thanks guys.

More focused forced jokes than value to listeners.
Been disappointed with progress of the show over the last year. Leander offers good comments that are based on reality but seems a bit uninterested at times. Luis has a common man approach to discussing products. Erfon offers crazy non accurate predictions about upcoming products and gives non value advice to listeners. I am not a big fan of his attempt at passive aggressive comedy. He tends to just pick on others making the show feel more negative. After years of listening I am starting to skip many parts and wondering if I should unsubscribe to not waste my time time on it. YMMV

Youtube ruined the cult cast
Used to be one of my favorite podcast but i will be unsubscribing. Ever since the move to youtube they focus to much on visual. I’m not subscribed for a youtube light version i want to be able and enjoy the audio not feel like i’m missing out. Also Luis is way to negative about everything it is really annoying as an Apple fan he pushes you away and makes you feel like you shouldn't enjoy things like he does.

Change the name to “Erfon Ruins Everything”
I used to be a huge fan of this podcast back in the day but it really went into the toilet after the departure of Buster and Alex. Erfon has always been the village idiot we had to endure to get the insight from people who actually know what’s going on, but lately he’s even more obnoxious than ever. The final straw for me was that I started getting all these suggestions to follow conspiracy theory conservative accounts on Twitter because I followed Erfon and that’s what he follows and gives likes to. I don’t know why I’m even surprised. Makes a lot of sense when you observe how he responds to being wrong on the podcast — refusing to ever admit it and making excuses, just like those he blindly follows 🙄

Been listening since the beginning, thank you for keeping me informed with just what I need to know, and for the laughs. Erfon is articulate, HILARIOUS and keeps the conversation on point, some of my biggest laughs of the week come from this show : ) Enjoy Leander’s dry British humor and Lewis’s low outbursts in the background all of which is just what I look forward to every week. Perfect trio, Thanks guys!

Good luck focusing on the content over the constant sound of traffic, cars beeping, mouth noises, plosives blowing out your eardrums, and one of the hosts rasp-breathing like a yeti throughout the episodes. Unprofessional and unpleasant.

Entertaining if into Apple news; not the most informed hosts. Still recommend.
If you follow tech news generally or Apple news specifically, then you probably know much more than these hosts about the topics they cover, esp Erfon. It seems like he doesn’t do any googling/research on the topics he discusses before the podcast. But he, and the rest of them, are entertaining enough that I listen to every episode. Also: Erfon, I agree with Lewis, please don’t do math equations in real time. You knew you were going to do those calculations ahead of time. So do them ahead of time!

Can’t listen anymore
I used to love this podcast. I would be waiting for it to appear. Not anymore. It’s not the same. Leander is great. But Erfon has become way too political. I understand it’s their show and their platform so they can discuss what they want but I came here for Apple news and discussions. Not politics. Not to hear Erfon belittle others. Sorry. I hope things change and I can come back but I’m no longer interested.

I have dozens of podcasts I cycle through weekly, this is the one I look forward to the most each week. Kudos to Erfon- in over 450 episodes has only missed one [due to child illness]. Love Leander’s movie/Tv show reviews-‘Terrible!’ and reviews of new Apple hardware ‘Astonishing!’

This latest Ep with Jon Prossor is in my onion the best episode ever so far. I’m a new listener, came over from AppleInsider podcast, left when they switched hosts. The Simpsons avatars are what got me to start listing and oh man…. what have I been missing. This is such a good show. They don’t just read the apple news, they provide such good dialogue and humor as well.

Apple news summary with a unique twist
Update: Well, no longer a 30 minute podcast, but always intertaining, usefull and worth listening to. Yes, the cast is slightly insane, but I love the way they call Apple out on the stupid stuff they do, plus cover all the news. Not only do you get an objective summary of the week's Apple news in a little more than 30 min, you also get entertainment in a goofy yet somehow addictive style.

Used to be the "Best Apple Conversation All Week Long!"
I've been with you from the beginning and while I still listen it's not one of my "go-to, gotta listen to" podcasts. Miss not having Buster on there,. His laid back personality coupled with his knowledge brought fun and credibility to the show. Erfon - be careful sometimes - some of your comments can be construed as racist. Like making fun of Asian accents or talking about basic stereotypes. As a person of color, I find some of your comments offensive. Good thing Leander is easy-going. Any other boss wouldn't have found the humor in the content ridicule and can we stop with the "nip" jokes. Geting old.

Quite Entertaining...Somewhat Informative
I’ve made it a habit to listen to this podcast to get an interesting and somewhat unique perspective on the world of Apple. Do take a moment to check it out! As for episode ideas, I would love to hear the crew’s thoughts on Apple developing its own line of “Internet of things” hardware to compete with the likes of Samsung.

The show’s host has been in an increasingly grumpy mood over the past year, so much so that it actually makes the show annoying to listen to. Every week there is a new “big problem” that really isn’t that and is like a click bait article.

The Cult
Been an avid listener since the beginning. The Cult Cast remains the most entertaining weekly Apple conversations you’ll hear on the internet. After listening to the #348 Censorship, I just had to remark on Leander’s blatant biases which are becoming more and more apparent in recent years. His unchecked bias towards Apple is more apparent as Erfon and his other guests remain very skeptical of both sides and present the arguments and news in a balanced manner. This climaxed around the 39:00 mark of the episode where Leander unleashed an emotional barrage of hateful language ending in him exclaiming that the person they were talking about should end his life. That is pretty insane coming from someone who was just arguing that hate speech should be grounds for companies like Apple, YouTube, or Twitter to unperson someone from the internet. It was just such a cringeworthy moment of hypocrisy on Leander’s part. Now, I’m not going to “flag” the episode, or take to my social media to rant about Leander. I believe in free speech and that no corporation has the right to silence it. I just wanted one of you to read this. There are others out there who think free speech should be protected. There are too many people who hear “Alex Jones”, “Conservative”, “Trump” or any of the selected trigger words of the day and shut down all logical processes. And I am a liberal myself, but in recent years things have become so hateful from other “liberals” that you’d think I am right wing (which I am not). Sorry for any of the hate you may get for defending free speech Erfon, and thanks for taking a balanced approach on this difficult subject. I know you weren’t defending Alex Jones, but I can see many other triggered people who get their news solely from CNN and other corporations getting upset at you for not pulling the trigger at his head like they all wish they could. The irony is too real from these “loving” and “accepting” people. Keep on learning and defending the truth, and of course, keep up the great work Erfon!

Oh c’mon Erfon
You really can’t tell that Infowars is tipping people into hateful actions? You really don’t even know if Jones has said things that have sparked consequences for Sandy Hook parents? Are you truly unable to do enough research before broadcasting to know what this hate-spewing guy is about? And feel you have to defend him? Well, I hate to leave Leander and Lewis, but your willful ignorance is too much- I listen on RSS podcast app and am unsubscribing now. You are no longer funny, just clueless. No longer a credible source on any topic.

Good vibe but reckless with accuracy
I really wanted this to be one of my fave podcasts, but in the first three episodes I listened to I heard them refer to the iPhone “ex” (it’s “ten”), call the iPhone 8 an all metal phone (it’s almost entirely glass) and say that the iPhone SE had its storage bumped up in 2016 (it was 2017). Tough to take an Apple-centric podcast seriously with basic errors like these.

Light hearted, Funny, my top favorite Apple Tech Podcast.
I love these guys. Erfon Elijah (@erfon), Leander Kahney (@lkahney) and Buster Hein (@bst3r). Are hilarious together. I really enjoy listening to these guys every week. They are extremely knowledgable and know their stuff. They explain things and talk about things in a way that you dont need a PHD in computer science to understand. The other things I like about them is they are down to earth and dont have that superior, elitist attitude that some of the other podcasts have. Erfon cracks the jokes, Leander is good spirited about being the brunt of most of Erfons jokes. And Buster, well I am still trying to figure out his part. He is extremely quite and doesnt talk much. But the show wouldnt be the same without him. Also I forgot to mention Lewis Wallace (@lewiswallace) he is great too. I highly recommend this show if you wanna stay current with Apple tech and news. And want a good laugh while doing it.

Gawd Awful
Wanted to find a good Apple podcast. Chose 3. This one looked the most promising. I listened to show 315 on Christmas Day. It was without a doubt, and by far, the worst podcast I have ever listened to. First they blame their and other analysts miscalculation on Apple Marketing (Apple said all along that they would be able to meet demand for the X), and try to pass it off as an Apple conspiracy. They say a few more things that belie a complete lack of understanding of how Apple really works or corporate America for that matter. They talk like someone Android user who is trying to convince others why they bought the crappy phone that they did. As an Apple insider podcast, they should know better. They should know more than I do...a lot more. They showed profound ignorance of the topic for which they claim expertise. They give an OK YouTube tip that could be said in one sentence (play YouTube in your browser instead of the app so your ad blocker works) , but took a whole segment to slowly reveal. They didn’t cover topics found in the show synopsis. Then they do a very long segment on Best of 2017 in which they talk about old shows (Walking Dead, The Wire) and a silly show for pre-teens. In the words of Vince Lombardi: “What the hell is going on out here!” But worst of all were the hosts. One was AWOL, another is a Brit who is the worst speaker of the English language I ever heard on a podcast. They were boring and unprepared. They seemed to have no notes, no episode plan, no prep work, no basic editing. Long pauses, disjointed tangents, took the Brit an eternity to remember the word “Lost”. It’s unlistenable. Oh well, on to the next one.

BEST APPLE NEWS & REVIEWS
This show is the greatest hour in my life! You get great humor and insights into Apple's news. The hosts are great and insightful. If you love to laugh and have a great time listening to a fun show this is for you! One time I shot pop through my nose from laughing so hard.

Love the Show, But Inconsistent Quality
I’ve been listening to the Cultcast since about episode 50, so going on several years now. I really look forward to it each week. The guys are really funny, but there are times where the show just lacks in substance and expertise. I’m not expecting MacCast level knowledge, but c’mon guys, when I listen to a tech podcast, I want to believe the hosts know more than I do. I know that sounds like a knock, but on the flipside, when these guys get serious about a topic, it gives the show so much more credibility. I’d like to hear the show go that direction a little more often. The banter and jokes are fun, but sometimes they seem to rely too heavily on sophomoric and redundant humor that makes me get bored. Believe me, this show is solid most of the time, but I think a little more structure and prep would turn out better episodes. I don’t want to get roasted by these guys for this review, because again, I really love the show. I’m just offering my critique, because I want to see this podcast stick around for years to come. Can I consult? Anyhow, tune it, draw your own conclusions. Lastly, UserFriendly4Life!

Best of the best!
If you are an Apple fan this podcast is a must listen. I’ve been following these guys for years and though most other podcast run out of steam sooner or later, these guys have been going strong. You’ll hear most of the weeks Apple related news but also so so much more. This feels like hanging out with your mates rather thank listening to tech podcast. Guys joke around, they make fun of each other, and they tell ton of interesting stories. They’ll bring your mood up for the day. They are (mostly) 3 guys on every show that couldn't be more different from one another (judging by their personal stories) but they have great chemistry together and each show is ton of fun. The Host Erfan is a funny dude. He constantly laughs and cracks jokes. He’s not afraid of making fun of himself or the podcast. He often lives brilliant nuggets of audio while the guys are talking before or after the show which are sometimes the best part. He’s the glue that keeps the show rolling. Buster is an outdoorsy type that is quiet and doesn’t say much but when he does it matters. He’s got great outdoorsy stories and he loves breaking his gadgets (not on purpose). He is also reviewing bunch of tech not related to Apple like drones and cameras. He’s also an excellent writer. And than there is Leander, a witty Brit Apple insider that has ton of stories behind the scenes (Cult of Mac owner) that you really can’t read or hear anywhere else. I have red couple of his books and they are superb. I would recommend the latest one about Jony Ive. He’s a guys guy, little older, little calmer and family man, But boy has he had interesting life and youth. The podcast is relaxed, they don’t care about time limits and they have not posed superficial rules around the cast. He seems like a great boss. Guys are not afraid to make fun of him and his British pub crawling stories. Gold. Every once in a while they have other team member join them as well as bunch of developers and people in the tech industry. I’ve been lazy for years to post a great review for them but they really really do deserve it. If you are tired of uninformed podcast trashing Apple for click bait give these guys a try. You’ll get honest opinions from actual users Apple products and you’ll never look back. 10 Stars.

Thank you, again
I wanted to follow up to today's show. I was really kind of taken aback by the gentleman who left his, shall we say, strongly held belief about The CultCast. While I am one who believes in free speech and will defend his right to say such things, I have to say that as someone who has listened weekly since the beginning, that I cannot really agree, especially about the part where you and Buster "attack" Apple. It's not exactly true in my book. You all comment about things they are doing right, wrong, and indifferently. In fact, there have been times where I've disagreed with your opinions, especially about Woz. But, in general, your show is accessible, it focuses on interesting topics, and each of you have very interesting takes on various things. If I could make an observation, there have been many times I have thought your opinion swayed too easily one way or the other and even changed mid-stream. But here's the thing . . . the CultCast and the Cult of Mac are "lifestyle" publications. They report fact and opinion. And people are free to express said opinions. That's okay. In general, I am grateful for you and Buster and Leander and now Lewis (and of course various co-hosts over the years, ahem, Alex E. Heath, although, could he sound a little more interested?). Still, you keep it engaging and interesting and I say, keep it going.

I've been listening to this podcast for years. Love these guys. They are very genuine, unpretentious, have great chemistry together and are very knowledgeable about tech and Apple products. Love the fact they are down to earth and get along so well and have a great sense of humor. Total characters. Thumbs up. If you enjoy Apple products and technology and also want to be entertained with good humor, this is one of the podcasts you should listen to.,

This is a great weekly roundup of the hottest news in Apple-related tech. They do dabble in non Apple reviews, too. They have great personalities that help show the different angles of Apple products and how they impact the world.

In contrast to the those podcasts that make you cringe as the panel laughs or snickers at their own feeble attempts at humor, the Cultcast is truly funny and it arises out of some unique chemistry among the panel. Try it for a refreshing take on tech that has the perfect blend of humor.

I hope they fix one thing.
It’s a very good podcast, the hosts are great and it’s fun to hear them every week. I just get frustrated with one thing, it has happen in multiple episodes. When they record they don’t put there phones in Do Not Disturbe / Silence mode. So while hearing the episode a notification sound will pop, and since most iOS devices have the same sound, you think it’s yours the one getting the alert. Especially when hearing with headphones. On #305 of the hosts got a phone call, and well, you hear the ringtone... it just throws you of as a listener. For a second you think it might be your phone. The more annoying ones are when they get email because you think you got email. I just hope they fix it, it’s a good show.

Perfect for an ex Apple Store employee
I used to work at an Apple Store, and one of my favorite things about that job was the "nerding out" all the employees did over Apple products. When some tiny new feature came out (of which 99% of the world would be oblivious), folks would become giddy, discuss it, debate it, and try to figure out the logic behind said decision, feature, or design choice. After I left to pursue grad school (in a non-tech area), I missed those daily conversations. Cult of Mac's Cult Cast is the closest thing I've come to listening in on a bunch of Apple/tech nerds chat about all things Apple (as well as drones, cameras, and anything else with buttons). And I gotta say, these guys' sense of humor is hilarious. May not be for everyone, but I guffaw out loud at least once or twice every episode. Having listened for over a year now, I thought I'd write a review because it's stuck with me, and they're doing a great job. Love. This. Podcast.

The Cultcast is the first podcast I check for when I launch the podcast app. I absolutely love this podcast and would be sad (maybe even devastated:D ) if they ever decided to pack it up and quit. The Leander rants are fantastic. They are extremely funny and the chemistry between them all is perfect. I would love to hang out with them someday so I could spend the day laughing.

Informative and Entertaining
Please don't listen to this podcast if you want monotone news reporting and deep analysis to guide your investment portfolio. This podcast is for the 90% of Apple product users who want to be informed without being put to sleep. The camaraderie that exists between the hosts (Erfon, Leander, Buster, and sometime Alex) adds entertainment value while their expertise in the industry adds to the informative element. I've acted upon their news and advice, but also found myself laughing (by myself) as I listen to episodes on my long commute from work. I currently listen to 54 podcast shows. Of these, most relate to my profession and thus may not be 'personally' pleasurable. The Cultcast is one of about seven podcasts that I actually look forward to each week. It's set to appear at the top of my queue regardless of the status of other podcasts. It satisfies my need to know and desire to be entertained.

This is hands down the best Apple podcast period! Along with covering all things Apple, Erfon, Buster, Alex and Leander have the best chemistry and the best combination of jokes and breaking news. It's like sitting down with your best friends and chatting about the company we all love. I love all the impersonations, references to 80s shows, and general geeking out! Keep it up guys! I look forward to each new addition.

The first time I listened to this one I immediately shut it off after Erfon's helloooo. After a little while I gave I another chance and since then it's become my favorite podcast that o listen to.

The Best Tech News Podcast!
I must listen to 20 podcasts from comedy to news, and the CultCast has become my favorite! The guys at CultCast all have such great personalities and are able to make tech news entertaining and informative for technophobes all the way to tech junkies. Also, love how they sprinkle in other pop culture current events like movies or their love for Coldplay or Prince! They are easily the best tech news cast followed by Vergecast,TNT, DTNS, Clockwise, ATP, Upgrade, Rocket, Material, Mac Break Weekly, etc. Really, they are the best, because they are the guys I would most like to have a drink with and talk tech! Just wish the podcast was longer!

Awesome ear candy
From the Mrs. Doubtfire intro to the afterwards of topics like gaming, movies, lots of 80’s references, always a pleasure to hear, or music and Leander’s lack of interest in all of these that make it a glorious 30 (plus) minutes, as well as the rare but treasured 2nd hour specials that helped and inspire me with my iPhone photography. The Banter between the guys is always fresh, literally and figuratively, but not foul, which helps cater to all audiences. They were the first, and still the best podcast that I found when looking for Apple related news,

Why the need for CONSTANT sexual innuendos?
If they stop with the over-suggestive banter, this would be a great show. Also, t\aside from things Apple, the host is clueless in other things. After hearing this podcast with a friend, (not even a prude), even she found it uncountable to listen to. It’s a shame - when do they talk about Apple things and not manscaping, and bulges, and now the host pretty much wants to hump his co-hists, the show is okay for the most part.

I've been listening to this podcast for a few years and I love it. This crew has an awesome dynamic and even if it's a slow news week I get a kick out of their bantering. I look forward to hearing the next episode every Friday.

These crazy guys produce an entertaining and informative podcast. It's well paced, full of energy, technically satisfying, and just plain fun. Nothing better than starting my day with a welcome "Hellooooooooooo and welcome to the cultcast!" Give it a listen, you won't regret it!

Hilarious
I've been listening since the first episode and I finally decided to write a review. If the album artwork didn't tip you off to the silliness, then you weren't paying attention. This is the funniest way to listen to Apple news because the guys share their opinions and they banter on the show. It does resemble a junior high boy's club from time to time, complete with immature jokes, inappropriate sexual suggestions, and sometimes obnoxious hyperbole. That's what makes it so great. I do sometimes shake my head, but they keep me laughing. Great show, but don't let your kids listen to it!

Not that good
Used to like this podcast but now it seems like it is about to end because people are leaving or is never on the show. Don't really like the two that are on there one just thinks he is the funniest man alive and is not and the other seems to be eating every time he is on the show. I must find another podcast

Love these guys
The Apple stuff is only part of the appeal. There’s a real sense of friendship and camaraderie between Erfon and Buster and Leander (when he actually shows up). It makes a huge difference. Try listening to some other Mac podcasts and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’m always excited when Friday morning at the gym rolls around, because I can listen to CC while exercising. If nothing else, it’s great listening to the travails of Buster’s iOS devices, all of which are constantly being smashed or lost or drowned.

The CultCast is bloody awesome yalllll. I started listening a couple of years ago, and have listened to every episode at least twice. The show is consistently entertaining, unapologetically hilarious, and surprisingly informative ;). Apple needs to have more product releases and big events so that there can be more than one episode per week. Thanks for all that y’all do. Keep it up!

My Favorite Podcast
I started listening to the CultCast about a month after it came out. I went back and listened to the first few episodes, and found myself getting hooked. I’ve been listening ever since. The CultCast is something I look forward to every single week. Its the one podcast that I will put any other podcast I’m currently listening to on hold so I can tune in. It was the first podcast I started listening to on a weekly basis and I haven’t stopped. I was even lucky enough to be mentioned on the show. It was around the time the iPhone 5 or 5S was coming out, and Apple launched the EarPods. Leander sort of… shat all over them. I requested a review of them on their Facebook page, and while I was waiting in line at the Apple store around 5AM for the new phone, I hear my name called out. Erfon and the gang had answered my question. It was awesome! TL;DR I love this podcast. It’s my favorite Apple podcast that I listen to, and I have not and will not miss an episode. You should definitely subscribe!!

Awesome Podcast!
If you're an Apple fan this is a must listen to. They go over new software and hardware tech every Apple fan will want to hear. If you're not an Apple fan you should still listen because these guys are funny as hell! It really is a podcast both Apple fans and non-fans can listen and enjoy. Edit: I dropped a star because of the advertisement creep. Used to have an ad or two which is fine. Have to pay the bills. But now they are getting longer and more frequent.

If you want frat boy humor you are in the right spot
I gave this podcast about a month and their fart jokes put me over the edge. UNSUBSCRIBED. Juvenile, frat boy humor more than Apple info. There are way too many other great podcast from which to choose.

Uninformed
I am hoping that there isn’t any one solely getting their Apple news from these guys. They have to be the second most uninformed “professionals” besides weathermen. They run an Apple website, more just link bait lately, but mostly have no clue what they are talking about. I am pretty sure that Erfon doesn’t read any tech news, maybe a few headlines that he bases the topics on. Could be so much better if they put a little effort and integrity into their podcast.

Women listen too, you know.
I really like the information provided in the podcast but the way the act like they are talking to an all male audience really bothers me. Maybe next time they are about to talk about how rock hard their gluts are they will realize that women are listening and don't want to hear it. As a matter of fact, it is completely unnecessary to state that at all, I understand that it is part of their contract with a sponsor to plug the product, but they could just talk about the health benefits of standing and have the same effect. That is just one small part of the show that makes me feel like I just walked into a men's locker room, focus on the tech and you will have a five star show.

Leander is the best. I mean he is the Boss and yet he lets his employees make fun of him. He is also very insightful. His analysis is downright accurate. Buster is the cool guy among all you nerds and he does rock. He has the best jokes. And the stories. Alex has the most accurate information and the true cult spirit. And Erfon you have the best taste in technology. Totally agree with every word you say Erfon. Not to mention you are the soul of the show. You can actually do a show all on your own!!!

Helloooooo
The cult cast is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, mac podcast. Like any show, you get your news, rumor news, etc. But what makes this show special and unique from every other is the group. Each of them is unique, separate from one another, but in agreement for their love of Apple products. Each is the type that you have come across in your life, at one time or another, but not being the type you regret to have known, but the one you are happy to know. I never listen to an episode where I don’t laugh, let alone smile. It is one of the great shows that I am glad to have come across awhile back.

the best 30+ minute Apple conversation you’ll hear… all week long
“Helloooooooo and welcome to the CultCast - the best 30+ minute Apple conversation you’ll hear… all week long.” Host Erfon and a motley crew of Apple experts / beard accessory enthusiasts comprise an ensemble cast that delivers Apple news, reviews and off topic banter that is guaranteed to expand your mind, make you laugh and occasionally gouge your eyes out with a stick. I kid. Its great, listen to it.

Great Info, Informal Reviews, and Humor
The Cultcast is just 40 minutes to about an hour each week, a much better length than the tedious 2 hour tech podcasts put out by others. They offer a nice mix of early adopter reviews, speculation, coverage of product announcements and sometimes a good tip or two—all delivered in a way that is fun to hear. Highly recommended.

kinda awkward but cool
Its a fun Apple podcast except when the host interrupts to profess his love for some woman named Linda… It gets kinda weird and awkward because he says it a lot and his guest just kinda get really quite and its all awkward and stuff.. Sure he might really love this woman and all, maybe its his girlfriend or something. I don’t know.

Love the show when they do talk about Apple stuff but for a 30-40 min show the seem to only talk about Apple for ¼ to ⅓ of the time. The rest is spent on advertising and about there personal life. It'd cool to get to know your cultcast but give us at least a good ¾ of the show about Apple.

Perfect distraction for my running!
When I go on longer multi-hour runs on the weekend, it takes a while to warm up, and sometimes those first 3-5 miles can be brutal. To avoid this, I listen to the latest episode of The CultCast. The assault on my sensibilites and my ear drums makes me forget about the pain my legs and lungs may be experiencing. I never miss an episode!

Is it the best?
I've been listening since the beginning. Overall, it's an informative, helpful, fun Apple conversation each week. However, that doesn't mean it's the Apple conversation to end all Apple conversations. While it's informative, the host's 13-year-old boy humor is getting really old (can he get through one episode without making anything an immature, unnecessary sex joke and taking up time giggling at it?). Stick to professionalism and this WILL be "the best Apple conversation you will hear all week long."

Now I can download all the Apple podcasts out there (The Verge, Engadget, etc.) and have hours and hours of good quality, exciting and funny talks about Apple! Incredible!” So I did download many of them and … GOD, HOW BORING THEY ARE! What a dissapointment, what a west of time! Thanks god for The CultCast! Love. Marian/Poland

I look forward to this Apple water-cooler discussion every week. Doesn't feel overly burdened with being factually accurate, pretty much just a few dudes opining about the latest Apple stuff. They are lighthearted in their banter and don't take themselves too seriously so it's entertaining to listen to. They don't feel as fanboy-ish as some other Mac related podcasts do so it doesn't feel like you're being inundated with Apple propaganda. Well done guys - Good times, good times.

Alex is Destroying the podcast!
I used to enjoy the podcast but recently Alex is destroying it. It's like watching a psychic vampire do his work, extremely negative person. Everything that comes out of his mouth lately is negativity and Apple bashing, he has become a complete joy kill. Take iOS 7 for example he can't stop bashing it every chance he gets, it's very sad because iOS7 hasn't even been released yet. I don't know why he's on the podcast other than to destroy it. I think this podcast is also suffering from poor leadership as well.

Why bother
I am not sure why these guys are bothering with this podcast. I suspect that this is simply a paycheck for these fellows. I keep making the mistake and giving their show a try. They first annoyed me with senseless jabber. Later they they confused me with their lack of knowledge regarding the subject they are reporting. The third and final time I gave them a try they seemed more interested in demeaning the company they profess to review, rather then having a discussion about Apple products.

Please stay with the all male format.
I just subscribed to your podcast, replacing Gruber (because I have no interest in baseball or James Bond) & Dalrymple (because I have no interest in musical equipment.) I REALLY enjoyed the first episode I listened to (WWDC coverage) ... and THEN came the episode with the first female guest ever. "Oh my God, oh my God" ... giggly tones and meaningless words." I don't think I can get through it. Please go back to the all male format. … discussing i0S, OS X & Macs … without the gushing & annoying high-pitched squeals & attempts at being a high-tech femme fatale. It wasn't convincing. Thanks.

Pretty Hokey
I used to be into Cult of Mac, but over the years they have started to consistently contradict themselves, showing a lack of professionalism (most recent, cheering like zealots Jony Ive's flat design in iOS 7, then they get it, and all they do is complain like a bunch of Drama Queens!). Thanks to their reporting I downloaded the Zite App and read all of Apple News and found where they copy, and yes I do mean COPY, most of their stories. They revealed most of their posts to actually be plagiarized, and there is very little original content.

The host of the show is a blind fanboy
My issue with this show is strictly on the host. He's a blind fanboy who can't think objectively about anything. He also knows nothing about computers and consumerism, the two things apple does best. But this became apparently mostly when he threw his support behind the Xbox one the most anti-consumer product ever conceived. He also hates "Arrested Development" the critically acclaimed greatest tv show. This obviously speaks loudly about his intelligence.

Cult of CultCast!
These guys are funny and informative. I've been a listener since episode one, and I look forward to each Thursday with equal parts anticipation and titillation. (Yup, I said titillation.) And there's even the occasional appearance from Hollywood's Christopher Walken.

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
I have found the perfect triumverate of Mac-related podcasts. There's the Cultcast for pure entertainment value. Like wisps of cotton candy sugar drifting in the summer heat—no, not even the actual sugar, more like just the memory of the smell of the sugar wafting across the fairgrounds towards you over the parking lot, that's how much actual substance we're talking about here. Then there's Mac Geek Gab for an inundation of technical information, kind of like having specialized intelligence bashed directly into your neocortex by the repeated enthusiastic application of a blunt monkey wrench. Finally there's Macbreak Weekly for listening to a group of old men bloviating, and who doesn't love that? It's like being at any McDonald's at 6:00 in the morning. Very philosophical. No but seriously, I really do enjoy all these podcasts, but if I had to pick just one, it would definitely be the Cultcast. Look forward to it every week. Is that sad or what?

Best Apple Podcast Ya'll!
This is such an enjoyable podcast. They're hilarious, don't take themselves too seriously like the iMore show and others, and just overall have a very unique way of delivering Apple news - and other various Tech information. I mean you have the British dude - Leander, the surfer Dell sounding dude - Erfon, and then the other guy who sounds like he is too cool to be there - Buster; what's not to like about that cast. I've been listening to it since the beginning, and it has become an absolute staple in my Podcast arsenal. Keep up the good work!

Podcast Magic
I have been listening to the CultCast since Episode 1. It's been a great ride listening to the guys discuss all things Apple (and Euphegenia's…I mean Erfon's "Hello" get longer and higher every week). I enjoy their humor; I enjoy their obvious bias towards all things Apple, and the chemistry between them is podcast magic. Erfon, Buster, Leander, and Alex could discuss anything and make it entertaining…oh wait, they DO discuss just about anything and everything! This podcast makes me look forward to Fridays!

Premature-downloadation!
The only thing bad about this podcast is that it only comes on once a week. I find myself listening to each episode about 4 times in the first 3 days it comes out. Then later in the week, I prematurely try to download new episodes with no luck. Download if you're not stupid. If you are stupid, download the verge.

Greatness
Without a doubt my most favorite show counting tv and all. Erfon is freakishly talented with keeping every podcast entertaining. He is like the Kevin Durant of podcast host meaning pure talent. My biggest complaint is lack of Cult of Mac merchandise. I would so wear a t shirt to represent

Great Show, always look forward to it on Thursdays
I love these guys, the english gentleman really makes the show great. It's a goofy cast of Apple enthusiasts just going on about Apple every once in a while with mildly informational stuff about upcoming Apple products. I heard if you play the cult cast backwards you can hear some subliminal messages but not sure. Can't wait to get this show on vinyl. Keep up the good work my friends. Curse more please.

The BEST!
Helloooooooo! This is the cult cast, the best 30(isn) minute apple conversation I hear all week long! And yeah… I say that 'cause it's the only podcast I listen to, but that's 'cause everything else I find to listen to isn't as fun to listen to 'cause it doesn't have that laid-back "Couple guys at a coffee table just chillin'" kinda feel.

The CultCast = AWESOME.
The CultCast has the perfect balance of being excellently produced, informative, insightful, hilarious, and ridiculously fun. Seriously, if you're the type of person even reading this, why haven't you subscribed yet? My only criticism of The CultCast is that each episode ends.

Le CultCast
The Cult Cast is that one iPod in every Apple Store that is on display that's been abused since the day it's been put out. No employee wants to take it down; everybody just wants to see what it could possibly look like from the next week's abuse. Spoilers: All the hosts are still alive right now; however, I hear that the writers were going to kill of one of them in a future episode! Get caught up while you still can.

I freaking love the CultCast. So many of the Apple podcasts take themselves to seriously and come off more like "hipster-casts." Not the CultCast. It's not the most informative news source, but it's entertaining for sure. Hit Subscribe. No Really. Hit Subscribe!
