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, April 6, 2025, and this is show number 1039.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed that little April Fool’s joke in the intro. Can you imagine my surprise when I heard another Allison use the exact same music I chose all those years ago? I’ve been holding that one back for about 4 months waiting for today to play it!<\/p>\n

Announcements<\/h3>\n

This is our last show before Steve and I jet off for two weeks to Japan. Don’t worry, the A-Team will be stepping in to keep the NosillaCast streak alive. When I asked Allister Jenks, Jill from the Northwoods, and Bart Busschots which two of them could help out, all three “volunteered” but in different ways.<\/p>\n

Allister said he wouldn’t be able to produce the show but he would be able to provide content. He wrote seven<\/em> articles and recorded them! Steve has worked his editing fingers to the bone to produce eight<\/em> videos from CES for the two shows. Jill will be producing next week’s show on April 13, and Bart will be producing the show on April 20th.<\/p>\n

They were both planning on doing recorded reviews of their own on top of all this content, so they have left four of Allister’s reviews for me when I get back. This will be a huge<\/em> help because nearly as soon as we get back we will be going down to Lindsay’s to steal back our new puppy Kepler.<\/p>\n

With that bit of housekeeping out of the way, remember this also means there will be NO LIVE SHOW<\/strong> until Sunday, April 27th.<\/p>\n

Macstock Conference Coupon Code<\/a><\/h3>\n

You know my favorite conference of the year is Macstock in Woodstock, Illinois just outside of Chicago. It’s such a great gathering of interesting people. The sessions are always fantastic, and the hallway discussions are even better. It’s a very friendly conference where there are no “clicks”. Everyone is approachable and fun. I’m bringing all of this up because if you register to attend using the coupon code PODFEET50, you’ll get $50 off the conference fee and I’ll get $25. The show is July 11-13 and I guarantee you’ll meet other NosillaCastaways there too! Head over to macstockconferenceandexpo.com\/…<\/a> today and come join us!<\/p>\n

Astrophotography by Stealth Part One \u2014\u00a0by Brian Hoffman<\/a><\/h4>\n

Brian Hoffman is going to do a four-part series for us on Astrophotography. I’m going to play part one for you now, and if I were a better person, I would have given Jill Part 2 to play on her show. However, I’m selfish, and I’m going to play Part 2 at the end of this episode of the NosillaCast. That means you’ll also have to wait till I get back for Parts 3 and 4!<\/p>\n

Support the Show<\/a><\/h3>\n

Over the years, I’ve talked about all of the different ways you can contribute financially to the show, and there’s one listener who has tried them all. Years ago John Murray was a patron through Patreon. Then a few years back, John explained to me that he decided to use podfeet.com\/paypal<\/a> on a quarterly schedule so it was just like Patreon but with bigger lump sums. Then when I came out with the “Buy Me a Coffee” way to donate using ApplePay or any credit card<\/a>, he thought that was even cooler, so he gave it a try. And this week, John came back to Patreon and became our newest patron again. You too can be a hero like John by going to podfeet.com\/patreon<\/a> and showing your support for the work we do here at the Podfeet Podcasts.<\/p>\n
