We’ve received emails about the new podcast format, and please continue to send them to us. We really appreciate the feedback and take it to heart. For example:

Why “fearless”? I have to say it makes me cringe every time I hear it. What should you be afraid of? With all due respect, you are not a news organization that uncovers a massive government cover-up and therefore has to worry about retaliation. What’s the worst that could happen to you if Apple stops sending you devices to review?
