Welcome, Mac Power Users!

I've listened to Apple podcasts for a long time, and with over 250 episodes published, Mac Power Users has been a constant listen of mine for years.

Mac Power Users isn't just a podcast; it's an institution. The guest list is impressive, with greats like Rod Roddenberry, Merlin Mann, Aisha Tyler and David Allen making appearances.

That's why today's announcement is so exciting: MPU is joining Relay FM.

David and Katie share an unparalleled passion for learning about, teaching and exploring new ways to get things done. From workflows and applications to interviews and more, Mac Power Users is always on point.

I've learned a ton of things from David and Katie. You won't find a nicer, more authentic pair of Apple nerds around. Myke and I are thrilled to have such great voices from the Mac community as part of Relay FM.

How to subscribe:

The current podcast feed will be redirected as well and this is scheduled to happen this Thursday, April 30th. However feed direction can cause problems so we're asking everyone to instead please subscribe to the new RSS feed to make sure you don't miss an episode and avoid other problems.

Introducing the Relay FM app, powered by Glide

We're thrilled to announce a little secret project we've been working on for a while — the Relay FM iPhone and Apple Watch app.

Focused on and built around the live stream experience, the Relay app brings our live shows to you in an all-new way.

You can select your favorite shows to follow them and receive a push notification when they go live. Simply tap play, and the stream begins without any fuss. If you missed a show, you can stream a previous episode right from the app.

If you have an Apple Watch, you can even switch on from your wrist.

The app will include the Relay FM chat room, where you can ask questions, provide real-time followup and suggest show titles. Show links pop into the app as we add them to the site, so following along is easier than ever.

We've partnered with Glide to power the app. Their platform is just fantastic, giving us complete control of the content in the app using Dropbox and Markdown. Marco Arment said, "The best way I can explain it is that Glide is to apps as Squarespace is to websites," and we couldn't agree more. It really is an amazing platform.

Their new version packs a lot of technology we're featuring in the Relay app, and the company has launched a Kickstarter campaign to make the platform accessible to all. Go check it out.

We're still putting the finishing touches on the app, but we expect to ship soon. Stay tuned!

Welcome Isometric!

We are so excited today to announce that in a few weeks time, we'll be welcoming the fantastic Isometric to our roster at Relay FM.

Much like Rocket, what I love most about Isometric is that the viewpoint of the hosts is completely different to what you'll find elsewhere. Isometric is a real champion for equality in video games, with a passion (and flare of humour) that are totally unique.

When I listen to this show, I am given a completely different point of view to my own, about old and new games, and it really helps me think differently and challenge myself.

We are already lucky enough to have Brianna Wu as part of our great group of hosts on Relay FM, and we are so excited to now welcome Georgia Dow, Maddy Myers and Steve Lubitz as well.

Since adding Rocket to Relay FM, I have developed a great working relationship with Brianna, so having Isometric join us felt like a no-brainer. You can read Brianna's take on this on her blog.

I really hope that you give Isometric a listen when it joins us in April, but you can also start checking it out now at its current home on 5by5.

We'll have the feed and page ready shortly, so follow either Isometric or Relay FM on Twitter to find out more as it happens.

We are so excited to welcome another great show to Relay FM; 2015 is shaping up to be pretty great already.
