Mac OSX Podcasts - MacMason Training and Repairs

I love podcasts for me they are the easiest way to process new information. Podcasting is actually what got me into learning about OSX and Linux in the first place. I have even produced a few podcasts of my own. One on my art (Now Podfaded) and a second podcast Called the Star-Fall Sci-fi RPG Podcast.(Still active)

But How about some Podcasts about Apple Computers & OSX?

Over the last week, I have been collecting some really amazing podcasts that relate to all things Apple. Some will cover the basics and others are created by my peers. Just by listening to these folks, I can tell they hosts know their stuff even if the topic seems basic.

In the listing, I have included the same tags I use for my blog posts to give you an idea of what level of Mac knowledge you can expect from their topics. Thought I do recommend listing to them all regardless of the level (How else are you going to learn?)

Mac Power Users Podcast

This is a great podcast. They are called the Mac Power users for a reason. Even I have learned a little bit from their podcast. This is perfect for someone who is already familiar with Macs but wants to learn more. Topics are very diverse so there is a little bit of everything for everyone.

Ian Byrd returns to the Mac Power Users to share the story of how he transitioned his business from in-person speaking engagements to on-demand video. Topics include online business management tools, video production, automation, and Ian's one-person company retreats.

The Mac Observer Podcast

This is more than just a podcast. The topics range from News about Apple products and OSX to some down and dirty information. Great information for computer geeks like me. I actually have a rule to not visit their webpage when I’m working or else nothing else will get done.

You really need to watch this. It is mostly news and information about Apple Products. This group has the finger on the pulse of all things Apple. Also, I have met Leo Laporte in person.

Intego Mac Podcast

This is all about Mac Security. I have been listening to this non-stop since I discovered it last week. Though the information they are providing is in an easy to understand format, The topic of Mac security can only be simplified so much without using jargon. I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in Mac Security.

This may be my New Favourite Podcast.

Mac Admins Podcast

This is looking at Apple Computers from an Admin perspective. This is proof that you can find anything on the internet, and I love it! As we move our business towards providing admin support for companies and schools I’m going to be spending a LOT of time listening to this podcast.

Though you do not need to be an OSX admin to enjoy this podcast a lot of the topics would leave novice and beginner listeners scratching their heads
