Mosen At Large Episode 16, hark, and lo, voting in our holiday countdown will soon close

Hi Mosen at largers. Hark! Hark closely! Verily I say unto you, it’s Christmas, so lo, time is running out to vote in the Mushroom FM holiday countdown. It’s so easy, and participating on the day is such a fun experience. Get your top 10 holiday songs into us today! Otherwise, a song you really like might be low. And lo, that would not be good. Then you might say, “oh, hark!”

iOS 13.3 is out and while there might be a few accessibility improvements for some, the bugs persist with several listeners chiming in on this.

 

When you vote in the Mushroom FM holiday countdown, you get an invitation to our Christmas party where you have a chance to win virtual Christmas crackers for your table. Since Christmas crackers aren’t very common in the US, I explain what they are.

 

A listener points out how to get some very useful visual assistance from Apple if you have two devices.

Bonnie is here with her bulletin as we look ahead to the big New Zealand close-down and provide an update on the great Mosen carrier migration. She also talks about how she’s going with her new AirPods Pros.

 

I explain why as a blind person I find it handy to have a sound mixer on my desk in my office.

 

I’ve had a bad week with Uber who have refused to correct an error and flat out lied about a trip I took.

Could we be about to see the release of the iPhone 9?

 

This is the last Mosen At Large podcast of 2019. We’ll see you back on 25 January 2020. You can tune into Mushroom FM throughout the holiday season for great programming, including our holiday countdown and my special shows for both Christmas day and new year’s eve.
