A New Chapter for Mac Power Users (for Stephen Robles!)

Stephen Hackett is stepping away... and Stephen Robles is stepping in! Congrats to Stephen(s) and David Sparks for continuing the legacy of this show.

From David Sparks/MacSparky:

After seven years of podcasting together, Stephen Hackett is stepping away from the show. Stephen has become a dear friend, and I will really miss our weekly conversations. He was also an outstanding podcasting partner, handling problems before I even realized they existed. The show wouldn’t be what it is today without him.

I’m also excited to announce that Stephen Robles will be joining me as the new co-host.

I’ve been listening to Stephen’s podcast and watching his YouTube channel for some time now. When I started thinking about who could fill this role, he was at the top of my list. Stephen views himself as a teacher, and while he’s become a very successful YouTuber, he also has years of experience as a podcaster. A good MPU host needs to be knowledgeable, willing to do the work, and fun to talk to. Stephen checks all of those boxes. Every conversation I’ve had with him throughout this process further validates my decision to bring him on board.

My congratulations to Stephen(s) – Hackett on recognizing it was time for a change, and Robles for a well-deserved hosting position.

I originally met Stephen Robles as he interviewed me for the AppleInsider podcast back in 2021, and it’s been excellent to see his creator journey flourish – I’m glad to see this show reborn yet again with him as the new cohost.
