Quick Update: Apple Universe is not floating away by any means. We have recorded up to episode 107, and we are working on editing episodes, and writing show notes; after that’s all taken care, we will release all of our new episodes.

Please keep in mind that Apple Universe only does production and post-production work during weekends. For example, Irina Slutsky joined Daniel in episode 104 of Apple Universe to talk about Geek Entertainment Television. That episode was almost a good hour long, and so far has taken two hours to edit.

Please understand that we’re working hard to produce episodes that we feel you’ll enjoy. A little patience goes a long way, and we’ll definitely make it up to you.
