Hi, this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Apple Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Apple bias. Today is Sunday, May 15, 2022, and this is show number 888.<\/p>\n
It is also the 17th anniversary of the NosillaCast. I think the craziest thing about that statement is that since Lindsay is 34 years old, I’ve actually been doing this show for half<\/em> of her lifetime. How nuts is that? Every year on the anniversary of the show, I thank listener Neil, because he was the first one to ever write to me. He wrote in when I podfaded after 4 shows.<\/p>\n But this year, I want to thank someone else for their encouragement. 17 years ago, episodes 2, 3, and 4 were all about what I learned at the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital conference. On the very first day of that conference, I met David Roth, and he and I have been close friends ever since. I recorded episode 2 the night we met, so he may actually be the longest-listening NosillaCastaway of all. Since that day, he has continued to support my work here by being snarky, making fun of me, and complaining when I make the listeners do math during the show. I’ll never forget how annoyed he was when I showed my work on calculating whether a portable battery could charge a laptop<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whether you’ve been listening for a decade and a half or whether you just joined us, I want you to know that I love doing this show because of the community of friends I’ve met along the way. Thank you for listening.<\/p>\n
