> MacOS has a ton of tiny widgets...good luck pressing the red vs yellow button in the upper left corner reliably....same thing with the extensive use of right click. The desktop OS is heavily optimized for precise pointers.

you guys get this wrong all the time. The idea of touch is not to replace your precious mouse or turn mbp into a 'tablet'. There are PLENTY of obvious uses for touch on mac os that include non-precise pointer requirements. E.g. almost any scrolling, like a pdf, spreadsheet, web page. You don't need to hold your hand up to do this you just do as if you are pressing ESC but move your hand an inch further. rest it on the computer. it's not hard. fingers behind the screen, thumb on front. Easy. You can even scroll around at the same time as using the mouse pointer with your other hand. This is pretty neat. Other obviousy uses, things like maps, and even things like mixers, or controls in audio software which infamously favours skeomorphic designs lending almost ideal conditions for touch input. (think multiple channel mixers sliders) And finally Taking cues from the experience when you use an ipad as a second macos screen the areas when they can make a kind of touch bar on steriods is very interesting. It's like Nortaon commander style F button control ,but for the whole OS, and contextually aware. Open your mind.

I can't think of anything worse than this. (OK well I can but..) This has all the veneer of a 'podcast' (ugh i hate that term) but without any of the substance. Why on earth would I want to listen to a fake podcast ? What the actual fuck. I listen to radio, long form talk, and 'podcasts' because I want to hear what the person has to say. either the show host or the interviewee. This really just sounds like a way to get adverts and effectively droids inserted into content that looks like something it isn't. horrifying.
