Hello and welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. I'm your host, Wesley Hilliard, back and married.

0:14.3

Yes, it all went well. We'll talk about it later. But first, I want to thank our sponsors this week, Masterclass in Nord Stellar. I'm joined by

0:23.6

William this week. Don't worry, Mike isn't here to grump things up. We always appreciate Mike coming on

0:27.9
