MacVoices #17214: The MacVoices 2017 Holiday Gift Guide #2

Our second holiday gift guide show got crazier than the first, and that’s no small feat. The panel of Bart Busschots, Joe Kissell, Brett Terpstra, and host Chuck Joiner pick items that include stocking stuffers, apps for the exercise enthusiasts, productivity hardware and software, and more than a few off-beat selections that we bet you haven’t thought of or even know about.
