Today's Macs do a lot more than the original Mac ever did, and some of that stuff happens without you knowing it. John and Dave start this conversation with some of the things they watch on their Macs to make sure nothing is happening that shouldn't be. Dave also found a solution to his dream podcasting setup, and talks through the details of that, as well!

Just saw the new Podcast was available, hit update in iTunes and I get an error message 'Podcast does not seem to be a valid url'
hmmmm
Heh... yeah, that existed for about 10 minutes when we had an ampersand character misplaced in the title field of the feed. It's fixed now, and your update should have happened automatically since then. Did it?
