See All Stories

9to5Mac has been involved in the world of podcasting since 2013. What started as a weekly Google Hangouts on YouTube evolved into the 9to5Mac Happy Hour podcast. The show now has years of episodes with more content released every week.

9to5Mac Watch Time spun out of Happy Hour and started as a seasonal podcast in 2019 dedicated to exploring real stories of how people are using the Apple Watch to change their lives. It turns out there’s way more to share than can fit in a seasonal podcast. 9to5Mac Watch Time graduated from a seasonal podcast at the start of 2020 with new episodes released every other week.
