    Apple Watch Series 6 and SE were both just announced, so we highlight the most important things about them. Like, I actually know something about blood oxygen monitoring, and I talk about it. For reals. We also talk about the crazy-town Apple One bundles, too, but you know what? We hit Cobra Kai, Ted Lasso, and take a long look at the VSCO Girl phenomena. I know you're supposed to be humble in this world, and I am 99.9% of the time, but this show rocks. Go us! Go Mallercast!

  • We stare at the SpaceX spacesuit for two hours [episode 42]

    The mysterious episode #42 of Mallercast has magically appeared! This episode was uploaded at the beginning of September, but there was a serious problem with the audio (the show was 98% silence.) Not good! Plus, we had left for vacation the day after it was uploaded. Also not good! Then, when we returned from vacation, I got a little lazy. Again, not good! But, lazy can be nice some times. Anyhow, we hope you enjoy this one. There will be another in October. Huzzah! Here are the show notes - http://www.sam-mallery.com/2017/09/we-stare-at-the-spacex-spacesuit-for-two-hours-episode-42
