Jason Snell & Myke Hurley Draft a Home Screen

Episode 250 of Upgrade from Relay FM

After a brief commentary about Twitterrific 6 and the difficult world of App Store pricing, we kick off the The Upgrade Summer of Fun by building the official Upgrade iPhone home screen. 28 apps will be picked! Four will win coveted spaces in the dock! Rules will be invented on the fly! Also, we explain what a draft is.

Upgrade was the first Apple-specific podcast I discovered, and it might actually be the show I’ve listened to the longest. In the time since, I’ve become quite particular about the arrangement of apps on my home screen, in no small part due to another Relay FM show co-hosted by Myke Hurley, Cortex. In Upgrade’s annual Summer of Fun, Jason and Myke drafted a home screen, the latest in a series of many drafts, and it’s some damn good nerdy listening.
