Clockwise is a rapid-fire discussion of current technology issues hosted by Dan Moren and Mikah Sargent and featuring two special guests each week. Four people, four topics--and because we're always watching the clock, no episode is longer than 30 minutes. Hosted by Dan Moren and Mikah Sargent.
I love the tight format of this show. The hosts and guest do a great job on staying on topics and the tight format keeps the show moving.
This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Easily in my top five!
The show has new co-hosts and the quality has continued to be great.

Low value content
A faux-funny, gabby podcast style seems to afflict podcasts in general and tech podcasts like this one in particular. Most techies are not funny. After plowing through the rubbish chatter, you're served low-value content. Example: a segment on tech habits you'd give up. (a) Really? and (b) At least provide a more insightful and less obvious answer than "social media".

Great format
I love it. 30 minutes. Easy to digest. I'm always amazed that 4 people do 4 topics in 30 minutes. 7.5 minutes per topic / 4 people is astounding (plus sponsor at halftime). Jason Snell was great, but Dan and Mikah are a great combo though too.

Great Job, Mikah!
One of my favorite Podcasts...

So glad I found this podcast. U guys are great.
I really enjoy the 4 topics in 30mins format.

Interesting topics and interesting people
Great way to get different viewpoints on technology topics quickly. Love that they try to balance the panel with men and women.

Great Way to Keep up with Tech
This is where I get lots of my headlines and initial breakdowns these days. Much better than sifting through all the tech blogs out there. And the 30 minute format is perfect.

Very enjoyable
Clockwise is very enjoyable to listen to. For people like myself who enjoy technology, but who don't work in field, they keep it simple yet very interesting. Great podcast!

Timely
Clockwise is one of my favorite listens week in and week out. It is always timely, it teaches me something new almost every episode, it deals with real topics that affect me in my real world, and it respects the fact that my podcast listening time is limited. (You really don't know how wonderful that is!)
Your guests are personable, the banter is always fresh and not overdone, the editing is super, and you always respect each others’ opinions.
I really enjoyed Episode 120. Your podcast is the only one that has been able to allow me to listen to Merlin Mann at a normal speed and absorb everything he said!
Please keep podcasting into the future, and I will keep listening.
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
Yes!

Fun and informative
If you enjoy tech, Clockwise is cotton candy for your brain. You'll love this weekly 30-minute diversion.

To the point
Not a techie but I love the focused structure of this podcast. Too few get to the point quickly and this one does. Learning a lot about something I've not had much of an interest in.

fast, insightful and fun
Clockwise is a terrific podcast, and is one of the few out there which is really disciplined about keeping to a reasonable length. They get a lot into half an hour, and the rotating guest list enlivens the discussion. I’d recommend this to anyone who would like a brief overview of current personal tech highlights (i.e, this is not focused on corporate IT).
2015-08-14
Wonderful
Fantastic forum perfectly executed. Concise and informative. Very well done.
2015-07-31
Fantastic and compact
The show is always an insightful and enjoyable look into the latest Apple and tech news. 4 people, 4 tech topics, 30 minutes. Great theme music, editing and banter between Jason and Dan. One of my all time favorites.
2015-07-28
Quick and easy
I love the format - a quick overview of tech topics. I listen to this every week.
2015-06-14
Nice and short
It’s great to be able to put an interesting podcast on driving home from work and finish it by the time you get home. Always interesting guests and great content. All in all a fantastic idea and executed perfectly. Glad they joined Relay FM.

Unique
I love the format of this podcast so much. It's definitely one of my favorites - I often listen live, if not within hours of release.
2015-05-01
This is rapidly becoming my favorite podcast.
The format gives this show a really nice feel. It's quick, informative and often quite funny.
2015-04-30
This may be the best podcast.
Perfect concept, executed perfectly.

Excellent - Perfect Format
This is a great show. It takes the boring 1.5 hour round table and puts it on 8x fast forward by limiting to 4 hosts and 4 topics in 30 minutes. Perfect for my commute or walking the dog. The guests are some of the top in tech, and they always bring in good topics which leads to good discussion.
My only advice would be to bring in more non-Apple focused folks as it would be interesting to hear from varying perspectives once in a while.

Macwatch
Macwatch is what it should be called. I’ve listened to four pods now and 80% of it is Mac and the other 20% is Amazon, Google, one go around on Twitter. Danny and Jason are great hosts but its very very mac-centric.

4 Topics and 4 Great Views in 30 Minutes
I really like the format and the focus of this show. The 4 topic (mostly Apple related) with four people offering their views on each topic, all in 30 minutes. This gets the top issues of the week covered with divergent viewpoints in a collegial manner.
2015-03-10
Time well spent
I love the quick delivery of this time efficient podcast about tech news. Great hosts and guests who you really want to spend time listening to. Don’t waste a minute, subscribe now!
2015-02-24
Love the plan and the delivered product.
As a relatively new listener to this show, I find myself really enjoying the content and the format. In some ways it is very professional and responsible in its adherence to time and I’m loving that for a tech podcast (which typically are prone to rambling). Keep up the great work!
2015-02-11
great podcast
Smart format to bring in different guests to supplement the always sharp and fun Dan and Jason. Works like a weekly tech topic happy hour. The 30 minute limit is a good contrast to the monstrous podcasts lurking out there given time limits of my life.
2014-12-14
Great podcast
Thanks for sticking to 30 minutes! Best use of my time each week podcast-wise.
2014-12-08
Fast and Focused
I love this show for two reasons, its focused and its end point is pre-defined.
In an age when tech podcasts tend to be over an hour and a half, its nice to have one that isn’t so long and meandering.
2014-12-06
I listen every week
This is one of the 80 or so podcasts I subscribe to. I listen every week. Thanks for the great content! @orangeposer
2014-12-04
Great tech podcast
With so many podcasts being 90 minutes or longer, it's refreshing to have one that stays within 30 minutes. Great hosts and guests each week. Stays on topic. Doesn't get stale.
2014-11-20
Great show!
I found the podcast a couple weeks ago looking for an easily digestable tech podcast! I am not up to date with much technology, and these guys with the 30 minute format make it easy to take in a few topics on the daily commute. They are funny, smart, and full of good insights with great guests!
2014-11-17
I like the topics they cover and getting feedback from 4 people on the snow.
The strict rigor of the format has a little more “filler” than I’d like (a 30-second explanation of the format at the start of each episode, and a bit more detail every 5 minutes through the show). I’d like it if the format were less “formally” spelled out on each show as it burns a bit of time, but overall the content of the discussions is worth it.

Nicest people
Dan Moren and Jason Snell are two of the nicest people in the Mac world, and they always have great guests with interesting topics. Listening to this podcast is like spending time with family (the good kind :o).
2014-10-10
Perfect amount of time
Man, some tech podcasts can go on and on and on and on...
While I do love those sometimes, the format of Clockwise is so digestible that I find myself reaching for it first when I have a queue of new podcasts.
Check it out and the whole library of Relay.fm podcasts. They're all good!
2014-07-11
Great info, love the format!
I was immediately hooked. I enjoy tech talk and the quick 5 min subject format is just right. Keep it up!
2013-08-29
Format of this show is Amazing! ❤ it!
I listen to podcasts all day & this one is a unique format genius actually! Jason Snell & the gang from Macworld have another hit. I do not know how they all have the time to do all that they do but i'm glad they do. I love the theme music asked Jason about it turns out it was composed by Chris Breen. Chris was kind enough to email me the song & now i have it as a ringtone on my iPhone. ❤ all things Macworld
2013-08-10
Perfect length, interesting people
There are a number of podcasts I like to listen to, but I can't keep up with them. I can hear most of the podcast on the way to work and learn about what's going on.
2013-07-31
Need my weekly dose
Awesome, concise, interesting, variety of hosts and topics... and weighing in at only 30 minutes (20 at 1.5x speed!) it is perfect for my commute.
2013-07-16
Great idea, great execution
Because this podcast values my time, it is near the top of my list.
