It's time for episode 220 of the Clockwise podcast from Relay FM, recorded Wednesday, December 20th, 2017.

Clockwise, Four People, Four that's half empty, half full, and half an hour.

I'm your co-host, Dan Moran, and I am joined by my co-host, Mr. Micah, how you doing?

I am great. I'd like to claim the half full side of that

if I did. Does that make me half empty? Yeah, that seems right. I'm that far along in my career now,

just at the half empty point. Let's see how our guests are doing today. We have two fantastic

guests. To my left, my very good friend, my co-host at The Rebound, Writer of

Many Things. Mr. John Maltz is here. Hi, John. Hi, Dan. I'm 1.25 full. Oh, good. Wow. Wow.

Your cup runneth over. Running over. Wow, fantastic. And to my left is writer and purveyor of fine podcasts over at podfeet.com.

It is my good pal, Allison Sheridan. Hi, Allison. Hey, Micah. How are you doing? And happy

birthday this week. Oh, thanks so much. So happy to have you here. I'm excited. It's going to be fun.

Yeah, it's going to be a good show today. I'll kick things off.

Dan knows because he stole the best topic.

I stole the best topic, and that's my, that's my prerogative.

I stole the best topic because it was a late breaking story just as we record this,

which is Mark German's piece over in Bloomberg about how Apple is planning on unifying its app platform potentially next year, meaning that developers

could write an app that runs on both iOS and MacOS.

So I'm curious, just to hear your sort of off the top of the head opinions of this,

is this a positive move?

Does it signal something about the future of the platforms?

What are you, what are you thinking?

John?
