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, August 20, 2023, and this is show number 954. We’ve gotten a lot of very nice messages from people asking whether we’re ok because of Hurricane Hilary. It felt good to have folks worry about us but we’ve been fine so far today. As of right now the peak wind has only been 9.2 and we’ve had 1.4 inches of rain. It’s not over yet but with our whole home batteries (the Tesla Powerwalls) we’re not too worried. Thanks to all who checked in with us.
So, remember how I told you the show would come out on Wednesday because we were going to Houston for the weekend to finally meet our new grandson? Early in the week I got a wee bit of a cold, so we cancelled the trip. There’s this virus called RSV that can be very dangerous to babies, and especially dangerous to premature babies like Teddy, and RSV can present itself as a cold in adults. Rather than take any risk to Teddy, we postponed the trip by a few weeks. We were disappointed, but we were able to pick a time when Kyle will be on the second half of his paternity leave so it will be even more fun.
Since we’d told everyone there would NOT be a live show, I sent out the bat signal on every channel I could think of:
- Mastodon
- Facebook (via Steve)
- Slack
- Podfeet Press (the newsletter I told you about recently)
- Patreon
- Individual messages to the people who show up often
If you missed the fact that there was a live show today, my apologies but I tried everything short of sending out owls!

Support the Show
One of the ways you can support the shows we do here at the Podfeet Podcasts Empire is to use my affiliate links. One of my must-have apps is Parallels Toolbox (I’ve written scads of articles about all the things it can do Parallels Toolbox – The Gift that Keeps On Giving), but the folks at Parallels license the Toolbox on a per-machine basis. For one Mac at $25 per year, I find it a great value. But now that I’m living the two-laptop lifestyle, paying an extra $25 per year for it seems a bit steep. However, some grand NosillaCastaway recently used my affiliate link for Parallels Toolbox and I got a license for 3 months free and they got 3 months added onto their subscription. So if 4 times a year one of you would buy an annual license of Parallels Toolbox, I wouldn’t have to pay twice! Check out the link in the shownotes to my affiliate link to Parallels Toolbox to help out both you and me.
