Let's turn to the really good news about the changes. One of the biggest things I did. It's all well and good that in theory, I'm going to have two new clean feeds, one for programming myself and one for Chit Chat Across the Pond. But what about content for Chit Chat Across the Pond? I don't want to be arranging people and people who are hard and I'm so resistant to doing that. How have I solved that problem? Here is the best news ever. Adam Angst has agreed to join the family and become a monthly guest on Chit Chat Across the Pond. Adam and I have a delightful time whenever we chat, and I'm sure you've picked up on it when you hear us talk about events like WWDC. He told me that he's been wanting to be a regular podcaster, but he knew that creating the shows was a lot of work. When I suggested to be on the show as a regular, he jumped at the chance, and he's really easy to communicate with. He gets back to me right away, I get back to him right away, we talk, it's great. Now he loves writing more than anything, and that's what makes him the best guest. His terrific articles for tidbits will give us a constant source of content for the show. His job will be to look back at his previous month's worth of articles, choose one of them to have me read before we start recording, and we can make that the topic of the show. We get along so well we can just flip on the recording, go to town on a topic that he's passionate about, and even if we wander off topic, that's okay too. We both love it. Adam being on Chitchat Across the Pond doesn't preclude me having other guests on the show, but it takes the heat off me to feel like I'm letting you down by not booking guests the time. Now if I stopped right here with a solution, it would all make sense. Three actively recorded shows, NoSillaCast, ChitChat Across the Pond, and Programming by Stealth. But you know, I'm not going to keep it that simple. One of the main things I wanted to do is to figure out a way to lower my workload. This may be a weird idea, but I'm going to put Chit Chat Across the Pond content back into the NocillaCast too. So you'll actually be able to get Chit Chat Across the Pond two ways. You just stick around in the NocillaCast or you subscribe to Chit Chat Across the Pond directly. Now the shows will be a bit more even in length. We'll have security bits two weeks of the month and Chit Chat Across the Pond one week of the month with one normally solo show. Now I hope this arrangement makes sense to you and simplifies things. You still get Bart programming by stealth with a more direct linkage to his tutorial show notes. Security bits will stay as part of the NoSillaCast. You have these two ways to get chit chat across the pond by subscribing directly or by listening to all of the NoSillaCast. And

we get Adam

angst.

Our next group includes Alison's wingwoman Sandy Foster, longtime listener Kirshin Sia, a longtime friend Ed Tobias, aka Mr. Ed in our chat room, longtime friend Dave Hamilton, host of the MacGeekGab, Slough, producer and co -writer of If Every Day Were Christmas and longtime friend from Belgium, Nightwise. Hi,

this is Sandy Foster and I want to congratulate Allison on her 1000th episode. What an achievement! I've been listening to the Nozilla cast for many years and look forward to each week's live show. Allison has created a true community of listeners and is inspiring and generous with her knowledge. I'm so pleased to be able to say that Alison is not only an inspiration to me as to so many, but she's also a much cherished personal friend. Congratulations, Alison. Hi, Alison Kirshon

here. Congratulations on your 1000th episode. Yes, wishing you many more to come as you tell us about technology with that ever so slight Macintosh. I mean Apple Bias.

All the best. Hi

all, Ed Tobias here, also known as Nosyla Castaway and Mr. Ed. I have known Steve and Alison since the early 1980s. I believe Bart was just being born then. we lost touch over the years, and while searching a format podcast to listen to, I stumbled across one with a slight Apple bias. Through the podcast, we rekindled our friendship and discovered common infatuation with the Mac. Since then, we have shared dinners and peanut butter whiskey and quite a few tech play dates. I'm so happy I found the Podfeed podcast then it led to a reconnection with some dear old friends. Here's to another thousand episodes. Hey

Allison and Steve and everybody out there in Podfeet, Nozilla Cast Land, happy one thousandth episode. It's Dave Hamilton from MacGeek. And I know we hit our thousandth episode before you, but started doing this whole thing before us so I think you still retain bragging rights to that. So amazing. It's been such a pleasure getting to listen to the show and really getting to call you and Steve friends. That means the world to me and I am so stoked to see you hit quadruple digits and beyond. So have fun and keep up that Macintosh bias, keep up that Apple bias and don't get caught. Hi, Alison Slough here. Congratulations on your 1000th episode. I can't believe it. I remember almost 20

years ago when I first started listening to podcasts, yours was among the first that I subscribed to. can't believe we're a thousand episodes in. That is fantastic. And listen, even though I subscribed to a ton of podcasts, I have an ever so slight bias toward yours. Congratulations.

This is Nightwise Calling to congratulate you on your millennial episode recording. I just want to take the time and thank you for your contributions to podcasting over the last years, delivering consistent and high -quality content shows, a thousand episodes in a row. From the dawn of podcasting, you have always been a consistent source of well -researched Apple content that was only ever so slightly biased. In my quest for the source of the Nasilla cast success I have often wondered just what it is that makes this show tick and rack up a thousand successful episodes. Is it the insightful, intelligent and well -researched content? Is it the highly professional production quality? Is it the wide range of topics that somehow still stick around the central theme? Or is it the gracious, talented host with her unwavering sidekick? All of these elements have been crucial, I'm sure, but what makes it really special? I think I have found the secret element of the Noscela sauce that has boosted this show's listenership around the globe and even onto the communication consoles of many ships in the Imperial Klingon Defence Force. It is the intermittent addition of Belgians. Yes, throughout the community the content and the travels of the Nosilla entourage, Belgium and its chompful inhabitants always seem to be present in some shape or form. Whether this be Bart's insights will work, Peter and Stefan's additions, the rantings of yours truly, or things like Stulflais, chocolate and Steven's gluck. The country whose national symbol is an underage naked boy taking a wee in front of hundreds of Chinese tourists has been a pivotal element to the Nasilikast's success. So in name, of all my fellow countrymen inhabiting the nation that American thinks is an airport that has a cheese that is older than the American Constitution, and it hosts the greatest concentration of Nasilikast fans, I truly say, congratulations, Allison and Steve.

frequent contributor Thomas Matic and good buddy Ron Birch. 1000

episodes. I don't remember when I first started listening, but I'm sure it was double

digits.

The work you've put into making such a consistently good show, filled with useful knowledge, is much appreciated by the community that has built up around your show. I loved finally meeting you with Steve last year. I look forward to your shows and your community for many more years to come. This has been Stephen Goetz from Canada offering thanks and congratulations on 1,000 episodes. Hi

Alison, it is amazing. I still can't believe it. 1,000 Nocilla Cast episodes for us to listen to. Every episode filled with the new text of to be solved and even dumb questions. I've been a listener for almost the beginning I guess, and even was on the show once long ago. In the past years I got to learn about your children growing up, having grandchildren, a cute dog and your car. Of course. Wax on, Waksaf. We've met in person in Belgium together with Jo and Saskia, not one but two times, first in Antwerp, my hometown, and a few years later in Brussels to taste those famous waffles, amongst other things. I found out that you and Steven are as nice in person you are in the virtual world. I don't know if I should wish you another thousand podcasts, but anyway have fun with an ever so slight Apple bias. Greetings from Belgium. Hi

Allison. Longtime listener Ian Princeton here to wish you congratulations on hitting 1000 episodes. It would have been great to say I've been here since the beginning, but I learned about the Noscela cast in the teen episodes, back when I couldn't find anyone who knew what a podcast was. Each week I loaded you on my Rio MP3 player with 128 megaspace, along with Tim Burton, Adam Christensen, and one or two others that went by the wayside. I've enjoyed being part of the Nozilla Castaways and appreciate how you welcomed and encouraged Daniel when he was just 11 years old. Of course, your encouragement of Daniel cost me two tickets in a hotel for Maxstock back in 2017, but we finally got to meet face -to -face after 11 years of email correspondence. It's amazing you and Steve have kept and grown this fun community for 1,000 episodes in 19 years. So today we're celebrating you for having the bravery to pick up a microphone for 1,000 times, for finding and sharing information, and being the heart of a worldwide community that looks forward to getting our weekly dose of Apple

Bias. Cheers and happy feet! Hello, Allison and everyone. This is Thomas it to you from New Hampshire. Just wanting to chime in on the moment of the occasion of this episode and thank you to Steve for putting this all together. I appreciate Allison doing this to talk about the blindness part of apps and testing out accessibility things and telling the app makers and website designers when they've possibly overlooked accessibility, something or other, and being willing to test it out for us and showing them how maybe to fix it. And it's greatly greatly greatly appreciated. You've helped good work. Hello, everybody. This is Ron Burch coming

to you live from SoFi Stadium in sunny Southern California, where we've gathered over 50,000 fans to salute podcasting pioneer Allison Sheridan on the day of her 1000th NoSilla cast. From the day she picked up her first microphone to today's incredible live shows, Allison has grown the NoSilla cast to become a global beacon of community, fun and information with just an ever so slight Apple bias. Congratulations Allison on your incredible 1000 show run as we look forward to Nasilica's future. Back to you Steve! Now for feedback from long time friend Victor Cahiau, host of the Typical Mac User podcast, long time friend and master dessert -maker, listener Lin, friend from Australia, Trevor Dover, fellow podcaster Joe Duganzic, Bruce Wilson, aka Use the Data in our chat room, and Steve Harris, creator of Allison's beloved feeder and master of snark. Hey,

Allison, Victor Cajeo. Congratulations on a thousand shows. You are just an example of a person who is willing to give so much. Your thoroughness, your passion for getting things correct and teaching a wide variety of people with a wide variety of experience is just contagious. Thank you so much everything you've done for the Mac community. Thank you for being a friend of mine, you and Steve, our dear friends, and I hope that the next thousand shows are just as successful and insightful as the last thousands.

Congrats! Greetings from listener Lynn. I have the pleasure of getting to know Allison in real life well before she started Good night. night. night. Good night. night. Good night. Good night. Good Good night. Good podcasts. She shares useful information, crazy stories, and has formed connections with a wide and supportive community. So congratulations on a thousand episodes and I look forward to many more. This

is Trevor from the Australian Capital Territory. I've been with Alison for most of her 1,000 episode journey. I was intrigued by this interesting character that had a regular guest spot on Tim Viporton's podcast, so I subscribed and haven't missed an episode since. I had the to meet Alison and Steve when they've visited Australia in 2012 and had a fabulous evening with them. Congratulations and thank you both for all that you do for those of us with an ever so slight Apple bias. Hey Alison, it's Joe

DeGanzek of well, formerly of Smarter Home Life, 1,000 shows? Well, number one, congratulations. That is a major, major accomplishment and way more episodes and shows than I had ever done in my own podcasting career. Although I would say, and maybe this is cliche to say, Pod V doesn't look a day over 100. But your podcasting skills, of course, certainly have been enhanced and refined over the years. But one thing I would say about your show and everything that you do is your level of detail or research is unmatched. It's stayed incredibly consistent and perhaps grown over the years. I think it's unmatched around the tech podcast world. So keep up the great work. And here's to your next 1000 shows. Congratulations again. Hi, this is Bruce from East Tennessee, also known as use the data. Congratulations to Alison for reaching 1,000 episodes and for the community that you've built. What's the problem to be solved is now a regular part of my thought process. I've learned things about how to explain technology and better consider technology from the perspective of different backgrounds and abilities. I've made new friends and I've gotten to learn from their insights. And I've probably bought a few things I might not have otherwise. So thanks for all of that, and I look forward to the next 1000 episodes. Peace, and may all continue to

find beauty in the world around us. A thousand! You don't look a day over 999. Congratulations on meeting this

tremendous milestone. That's persistence for you. Mind, we're still waiting for your mother's prediction to come true. Anyway, I know I speak on behalf of developers everywhere when I say, take a break. You deserve it. A few months, a few years, a single day. Just stop with emails,

okay? Just for one day. Okay, I can't let that one go. I know I said it was going to hold my thoughts to the end, but anyway, you may be wondering what Steve was talking about when he said, we're still waiting for your mother's prediction to come true. This is a really deep poll. In 2013, my mother, affectionately referred to around these parts as the Pod Mom, came on the show to review an accessibility tool she was enjoying. It happened to be Mother's Day, and she ended the conversation with a level of snark that might even be higher than Steve Harris's. I'm going to play that for you right now. So,

I want to say hello to all of you and

I know you all had good mommies because you listened to Allison and she just continued to listen to her. Someday she's going to get it right. All right, mom, I think on that note I'm going to just cut you off. Happy Tuesday. Oh, dear, you don't like my words of wisdom. Goodbye, sweetie. Love

you all. Well,

mother, thank you for the encouragement and support. All right, back to Steve.

Hi, it's Alistair Jenks from New Zealand. When Steve made the call for submissions for the 1000th episode, he said of Alison, she has produced an Oscillocast podcast episode every week without missing a beat. Speaking as a person who has directed 1% of those episodes, I can attest that the total amount of effort Alison and Steve have invested in this community is simply enormous. We are lucky to share in something that is not so much a podcast, but a community as a community with a podcast. Hey, Alison, it's Steve Ewell. Big congratulations to you and Steve on reaching 1,000 episodes. That's a major milestone. I listen every week and look forward to seeing you each year at and your slight Apple bias might be rubbing off on me. I just picked up my first Mac since System 7 way back in the 90s. So congrats again, and I look forward to listening to many, many more. Allison, Steve and Bart. Thank you to each one of you for your effort, knowledge, and passion for this podcast and this entire community. Allison has led and turned a desire to share what she has learned by annoying her friends, coworkers, and family into a world -renowned media empire of doom, trademark Donald Burr, that we all benefit from and enjoy even though it costs us money from time to time. We enjoy hearing about her endeavors to wrangle technology and her accounts of talking with, quote, my new little friend on the phone in a support role and how she winds her way through trying to solve a problem even though sometimes there isn't one. Mac Pro with battery drain is an example. Allison, thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for all of us. It was very memorable and enjoyable meeting you here in Dallas, and I hope to be able to meet you in person again someday. Steve has been a mostly silent partner working behind the scenes, but his contribution is almost as significant as Allison's. From the editing of content, periodic reviews, and who can forget the yearly reading the night before Christmas. I Truly love that and look forward to it every year with a sad reminder that Honda Bob is no longer with us Thank you Steve for all your hard work and contributions to this worthwhile endeavor Bart is the technical ocean of knowledge in this podcast How can we get by without the weekly security bits and programming by stealth? Not counting his Let's Talk Apple and Let's Talk Photography podcast. Your depth, breadth, and deep understanding of so many technical topics is amazing. And this is coming from a guy with a BS degree in computer science and a 40 year career in IT. I wish Security Bits was at the end of every show every week because I get so much out of this part of the show. I listen to quite a few podcasts, but this is one of my top two that are on the top of my list of most desired to listen to. The other one getting the top spot Monday Friday being Ken Ray's macOS Ken. I'm sure we are all very grateful for everything you do and wish all of you the very best. Hi

Alison, congratulations on 1000 episodes of an oscillocast from me and the software team. It has been a pleasure to interact with you and Steve over what now must be decades since we first met. I hope the 1000 episodes count for your step counter so that you stay healthy and fit for the next 1000. Alison,

Pilot Pete here. Congratulations on the monumental milestone of 1000 consecutive silk cast episodes without missing a beat or a week. Look, here's to a thousand weeks of tech reviews sharper than a new Apple pencil, software tutorials clearer than a freshly clean screen, and problem -solving skills that make MacGyver look unprepared. Your dedication not only keeps the tech world spinning, but also ensures everyone can hop on for a ride, no matter their ability. Thanks for making can't a word we only use when we run out of coffee. Look, here's to a thousand more fantastic episodes of Deagery. And the best part about this show is by listening to it, I got to meet you and I have a new friend. What could be better than that? God bless you. Keep it going.
