Awesome! That show sounds dope! Hopefully they also interview animators and cartoonists. The visual designers of the apps deserve some love too!
Really? Mini Shark Tank on Apple Music. Sorry, I’m not feeling it. Maybe others will, but this doesn’t make it for me.
It’s not my sort of thing, but I think they could be on to something. The tie-in with Apple is obvious and it should work well within Apple Music
how exciting.
The three people listening to Beats One Radio will be thrilled.
you mean Beats1?
Beats1 is great!
but i can see you never tried it.
before you slam something you should know what your (trying to slam) 😉
I have no interest in listening to a Kiwi tell me what to listen to. Tastemaker- no.
No quite my tempo…
Project Geeklight?
Where’s the Geeks?
Who next? A Kardashian discussing chip design?
If it’s Kim, maybe high bandwidth basebands.
There is indeed a uniformity to these competition reality shows, but only because the format lends itself to gleefully revealing the contestants’ shortcomings and triumphs. Complaining about a show being “derivative” glosses over what defines a platform. It is just as silly to complain that sitcoms are all the same. Established production design are proven crowd pleasers.
If the intent is to excite people about iOS apps and pull them into the Apple ecosystem, making it exclusive to Apple devices may just be preaching to the choir rather than gain new ‘faithful’. It’s like if Shark Tank was available to be viewed only by Angel investors.
