Ending the Automators Podcast

Yesterday the announcement went public that we’ll be wrapping up the Automators podcast, with our last episode being released on Friday, November 15.

It’s strange for me to be closing down a podcast; I’ve never done that before. Indeed, it took me a long time to come around to the idea of shutting down Automators, but I do believe it’s for the best.

We are ramping up the content on Mac Power Users so there is increasing overlap between the two shows. Moreover, Rose and I both have a lot of irons in the fire, and that show requires a lot of work to prepare.

As I’m starting to think about 2025, I want to focus on the MacSparky Labs even more, so something had to give. Of all my commitments, Automators seemed the right one to give up. I know this is disappointing for some of you, but I will continue to cover automation topics in the Labs and on the Mac Power Users podcast as well, and I hope you can understand.
