Hello and welcome to App Stories.

I'm John Voorhees and with me is Federico Vitechi. Hey, Federico.

Hello, John. How are you?

I'm doing really well because I can see you. Hello there. Well, I can see. It's not like we haven't seen each other in the world, but in the context of app stories, I guess it's the first time we're seeing each other. It is. After seven years, how about that? We finally turned on the cameras and here we are doing app YouTube. Well, I can't believe you look like that, John. I know. Look at me. I mean, here I am. I'm wearing my fall flannel. I'm ready to go, you know. I thought you had long blonde hair, to be, to be honest. I did until just a couple of weeks ago. it all went at once. Oh, I see it. I see. Interesting.

What happened?

That was a wig.

Actually, that was a wig. until just a couple of weeks ago. It all went to once. Oh, I see.

I see.

Interesting.

What happened? That was a wig. Actually, that was a wig the last time you and I saw each other. Cool, cool. I do break out the wig. Interesting. All right. Cool. So that being said, yeah, we're doing a video version of App Stories. You may have seen, obviously, that with the expansion of the MacStory's family of podcasts,

we've started approaching video in our YouTube channel.

It all started with ComforZone, and later we expanded it to MPC.

And now it's AppStory's turn to turn on the video cameras and have, in addition to the audio version of the show, which is not going away.

Especially if you are an App Stories Plus member, that's still going to remain audio only because there's no way to do members-only feed with video on YouTube.

So the audio component is something that we really believe in,

and it's something that is never going away because it's how I like to listen to my podcasts.

They have to be audio.

So, but at the same time, at the same time,

just like we said, for ComforZone and for MPC,

there is an increasing demand from a portion of our listener base.

Was asking for a video version of our shows.

Maybe because they like to have the additional context of the video.
