- Instacast has been around for a while and I've been using it since version 2. Pocket Casts on the other hand, I only just started using when I was testing it on Android and then iOS. I've reviewed both Instacast for Mac and Pocket Casts 4. People often ask me which app to buy for podcasts.

- What makes a Mac Pro a Mac Pro. I just listened to the Accidental Tech Podcast where John Siracusa and the other guys celebrated the 10th anniversary of his Mac Pro. A Mac Pro he bought in 2008 for $2400, that lasted to this day. A computer he still bought in the good old days when Steve Jobs drove the product development of the company.

Instacast 1 0 2 – Podcasts For The Next Generation Season
I originally wanted to write a blog post about raving how great the new Blackmagic eGPU is. I wanted to tell you how much I like it and how easy it is to get a full desktop setup with only plugging in 1 cable. I wanted to rant about PC GPUs not being able to drive a 5K display. That is until I ran some benchmarks and oh man, those don't look great.
I ran the Blackmagic eGPU (not the Pro) against a Radeon RX 580 and a Radeon Vega 64 in a Hackintosh PC enclosure. And as you can see from the chart above the eGPU didn't fare that well in terms of performance against a traditional PC setup. The difference is staggering. The 700 EUR Radeon Pro 580 eGPU's performance is closer to the Intel Iris Plus 655's performance, that comes with my 13' MacBook Pro, then to a 4GB PC graphics card that costs around 150 EUR. If you are buying the Blackmagic eGPU, you are sure not buying it for the performance.
OK, the performance is not great, but here's the thing. You only max out a graphics card on a MacOS machine during A) gaming or B) photo or video editing or C) intense 3D graphics workloads. I can't think of anything else. If those 3 things is what you do, please don't buy an eGPU, buy the new 2019 iMac with a Vega 48 or the iMac Pro, or wait for the new Mac Pro that must be a unicorn by now judging by how long we have to wait for this machine. Buy the Blackmagic eGPU if you have a normal MacOS workload like office work, audio work, programming etc. Then it's great to only have 1 MacBook, you can carry around and put it in a desktop setup from time to time. You can have a 5K display (also not needed for gaming) and you can plug in additional hard drives into the eGPU and connect the whole desktop setup to the MacBook using 1 cable. For that it's great.
I haven't tested the Blackmagic eGPU Pro, but from what I see, I can't really recommend it. It costs around 1300 EUR and presumably won't increase the GPU performance by a lot. Stay with the lower end model.

And oh yeah, I also tested a simple HDMI cable using an HDMI/USB-C adapter on a 4K display and the performance was horrible. Glitches everywhere and only 30 Hz refresh rate.
Instacast HD is the shiny new iPad version of the superb podcast client app. It promises more screen, more video, more show notes, better browsing, and iCloud sync.
Here are a few of the headline features for the new HD version:
Easy-to-read Show Notes
Show notes are the heart of the app. Surf links along playing the show and read in-depth information about the things the hosts are talking about. Save articles for reading later using your favorite Read-Later service such as Instapaper or Readability. Show notes also include chapter lists when available and let you jump directly to a certain point in the show. Surf through the show archive by swiping and flicking with your fingers.
Enhanced Video Player
Instacast HD has an enhanced video player, that lets you control the video with minimal interaction. Change the screen brightness in low light situations or stream the video to your Apple TV via AirPlay. Playback controls are positioned in a way that you don't have to touch the middle area where the video is playing, keeping the important parts of your screen fingerprint-free. Hide the player and continue playing only the audio portion of the video while surfing the show notes or browsing the web.
Direct Download
Instacast automatically downloads the most recent episodes and caches it on the device for later offline consumption. With the integrated Download Manager you can pause downloading, resume later and re-prioritize downloads. If the connection drops, Instacast will resume downloading later as soon as the internet connection is available again.
And some of the app's main features:
+ Manage podcast subscriptions
+ All Episodes inbox for unseen episodes
+ Filter for starred and downloaded episodes
+ Stream or preload over EDGE, 3G or WiFi and in background

Instacast 1 0 2 – Podcasts For The Next Generation Tv
I've used, and loved, Instacast on the iPhone for a long time, so I was very happy to see Instacast HD hit the App Store earlier today and installed it immediately. On the iPhone, I used the app almost exclusively for audio podcasts. With this new iPad version, I've spent all my time so far with video podcasts. The app has AirPlay support, so it's great to chuck these up onto a big TV screen.
I'll likely review this app when I've spent more time with it – but so far it looks great.
Here's an App Store link for Instacast HD; it's priced at $4.99.
