Open Apple Podcast: Keeping the KansasFest Spirit Alive

Mike Maginnis and Ken Gagne, two long-time Apple II users,  recently announced the Apple II community’s first co-hosted podcast. “Open Apple” is a monthly show dedicated to Steve Wozniak’s most famous personal computer. “When we got home from KansasFest 2010, we didn’t want the experience to end,” said Gagne in the show’s first episode, referring to the annual Apple II convention. Added Maginnis, “One of the great things about the Apple II is the community that surrounds it. Having a podcast where we can chat with other Apple II users fosters that community feeling you get at events like KansasFest.” In keeping with that theme, the two co-hosts are joined in their first episode by KansasFest veteran Andy Molloy, the first of many guests to appear on Open Apple.
