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 11, 2025, and this is show number 1044 and today we’re celebrating 20 years of the NosillaCast! The first episode of the NosillaCast was on May 12th, 2005!<\/a><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/NC_2025_05_11A.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

20th Anniversary<\/h3>\n

As you might guess, I’m pretty chuffed about hitting the 20-year milestone for the NosillaCast. I’m also very proud to have the longest-running Apple Podcast. I can’t celebrate without honoring those who came before me, though.<\/p>\n

Adam Curry created the first podcast, The Daily Source Code, which came out in August 2004. Adam Christianson launched The MacCast in October 2004, and it ran for 19 years, when he moved over to the Mac Geek Gab to join Dave Hamilton and Pilot Pete. I’m so glad his voice and knowledge are still there for us.<\/p>\n

And then there’s one of the kindest men to ever walk this planet, Tim Verpoorten, who ran the MacReviewcast. Tim passed away far too young, but I know that many people found the NosillaCast because of the little segments I would do on his show. If you ever hear me say, “this app does one thing and does it well”, I’m quoting Tim Verpoorten.<\/p>\n

I thought a bit about the software tools I have used over the years, and I think only two have been with me from the beginning. My website has always been built on WordPress, and ever since it was invented, I’ve been creating the podcast feeds with Feeder from Reinvented Software<\/a> by Steve Harris. I asked him if he, by any chance, had my original registration, and he found it – from September 2005! Before that, I actually hand-coded my feed.<\/p>\n

I know Steve appreciates my input on his software, since the About page says, ” Thanks to Allison Sheridan for use of her feed in screenshots, and for being generally annoying.”<\/p>\n

If I was to attempt to thank everyone who has made this show happen, I would most certainly miss too many people, so I\u2019ll keep it to just two. Without Bart Busschots, this show wouldn\u2019t be what it is today. It\u2019s not just Security Bits, how he hosts the shows when I\u2019m away, and shows we do together like Programming By Stealth and Taming the Terminal, it\u2019s that he\u2019s one of my dearest friends. I embarrass him with thanks again in Security Bits this week, so I\u2019ll keep it short, but I could go on and on.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Steve (or as he likes me to call him, \u201cHusband Steve\u201d). When I started the show, we were both working full time, winding up the raising of our children, and sharing all of the household duties. But when we retired in 2013, he took over virtually all of the work around the house. You may think I mean things like fixing small plumbing problems, but I mean grocery shopping, cooking, feeding and cleaning up after the dog, and laundry. I do so little around here, it\u2019s kind of embarrassing! I wash dishes and wax his car, and that\u2019s about it. On top of all that, he produces all of the videos you see and hear of our interviews. But beyond the task-based work, he supports me in what I do here. He\u2019s my champion, and I love him dearly for that.<\/p>\n

I lied, there’s one more group of people to thank, and that’s you, the listeners. Maybe you’ve dropped me a note to tell me I’m wrong. Maybe you’re in our Slack community. Maybe you’ve done a pull request in one of the Git repos for Programming By Stealth. Maybe you’ve sent me a financial donation. Maybe you sent in a dumb question. Or maybe you just sit politely listening to the shows in your headphones and only occasionally yell at your device. No matter your level of engagement, I’m glad you’re out there listening.<\/p>\n

Appearances<\/h3>\n

Cash Me Outside, Samsung! \u2013 DTNS Live 5015 \u2013 Daily Tech News Show<\/a><\/h4>\n

If this celebration isn’t enough for you, you can hear me on the Daily Tech News Show Live 5015<\/a> from May 8th where Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, and Amos had a walk down memory lane with me about the show and how podcasting has changed in the last 20 years. My segment starts around 26 minutes into the show, if you want to jump right to it.<\/p>\n

Clockwise #604: The Web Is Not This Big Scary Place – Relay<\/a><\/h4>\n

I also got to be on the Clockwise podcast with Mikah Sargent, Dan Moren, and Chris Lawley where we talked about the Epic v. Apple ruling (where I go against current sentiment), whether and how we report bugs to small devs, how we balance a single or multi-device Mac setup, and what one feature we’d love to see in the upcoming WWDC. Oh, and they applauded the 20-year anniversary!<\/p>\n

Double Tap – The Podcast Where Blind People Talk Tech<\/a><\/h4>\n

To wind up my media blitz tour for the week, I also recorded an interview with Steven Scott and Shaun Preece of the Double Tap Podcast<\/a>, but I don’t think that one has aired yet. After they appropriately stroked my ego about the 20th anniversary, we talked about the CSUN Assistive Tech conference. I’ll be sure to let you know when that episode airs because, as always with those guys, it was hilarious!<\/p>\n

NO LIVE SHOW NEXT WEEK<\/h3>\n

I have a public service announcement – next week there will be NO LIVE SHOW. We’ll be in Texas playing with our grandchildren. It’s a bit hard to tote all of the gear to do the live show, and their house has super high echoey ceilings with hardwood floors and three kids 5 years and younger … so it might not be the best place to record live! Of course, the show will come out on time or early, but it just won’t be recorded live.<\/p>\n

Ok, let’s finally get started with the 55th and final interview from CES, then we’ll have Part Three of Brian Hoffman’s Astrophotography by Stealth series, and finally we’ll start the interviews from CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, and we’ll wind up with Security Bits.<\/p>\n

CES 2025: Chefman Chef iQ Smart Cooker and MiniOven<\/a><\/h4>\n

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

I love this series by Brian, and I want to add something to this one. You know how he said he consulted with me on what laptop to buy and when? I pushed him away from the MacBook Pro and towards the MacBook Air, and while he did tell me he wanted it for his astrophotography work, I had no idea<\/strong> it entailed stacking hundreds of photos! I didn’t know what went into making spectacular images like he’s doing now, so I should have asked more questions. He loves his MacBook Air, so that’s great, but I bet an M4 Max MacBook Pro would have done this stacking a lot faster. I wanted to get this out there before all of you wrote to me asking me what I was thinking when I suggested the MacBook Air over the MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n

CSUN 2025: HCLTech Accessibility as a Service<\/a><\/h4>\n

On top of describing a pretty cool service for big companies that fits a real need in enhancing accessibility, Glenn also goes down in history as one of my heroes. The HCL booth was the very first booth we went to at CSUN, and before starting the interview, I explained to Glenn that this was the first interview we were doing with the new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera<\/a> I told you about a few months back.<\/p>\n

I’m sure glad we told him that, because as we were walking away, Steve was flipping through the screens and a “delete?” screen popped up, and he thought he swiped it away, but instead, it thought he agreed and it deleted the recording. That’s when we learned the Pocket 3 is very unforgiving and has no trashcan from which you can recover an accidentally deleted recording. We went back to Glenn, and he graciously and immediately agreed to rerecord. He was just as authentic and fun to record with the second time around.<\/p>\n

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

This is normally the time I panhandle for money, but this week, I’d like to ask for something different that won’t cost you a dime. I’d like you to go to Apple Podcasts and rate the NosillaCast. If it’s a 5-star review, that would be even niftier. Ian in Ky and JDenning gave us the most recent reviews, and they were fantastic! JDenning – in answer to your thought, YES, Steve and I would very easily be friends with you!<\/p>\n

I put a direct link in the shownotes to the NosillaCast page for Apple Podcasts<\/a>, but I had to ask ChatGPT how to find the place to review the show. Turns out you have to scroll past the episodes. I hope you’ll take a minute and make this how you celebrate our 20-year milestone.<\/p>\n
