Basic AF Show: WWDC 2025 Recap with Joe Moyer

I joined the guys over at the Basic AF Show earlier this week to recap the keynote of Apple’s latest Worldwide Developer Conference. It was a fun conversation about what we’re all excited for in the upcoming OS releases. If you’re a nerd like me, give it a listen!

You may also like the episode where we covered journaling. It’s their most popular episode to date, so why not give it a listen, especially if you enjoyed the episode of Focused I did recently.

I’m starting to get the hang of this whole podcasting thing, and I think I like it.

Focuesd #230: Journaling & Intention, with Joe Moyer

I recently had the great pleasure of talking with David Sparks and Mike Schmitz on one of my favorite podcasts, Focused.

From the episode description:

Journaling Guide Joe Moyer joins us to talk getting started with journaling, navigating major life transitions, and the power of a regular reflection practice.

This was a big deal for me. I’ve been listening to Focused since it began and enjoyed the show it was born out of, featuring David and Jason Snell (Free Agents, anyone else remember?). David and Mike were wonderful hosts who helped me share my story, and I am grateful for their time.

If you’re here because you listened to the episode, thanks for stopping by! You can follow the RSS feed, try the 10-day Journaling Challenge, and hit the features tab in the navigation to see what this is all about. I’ve been writing for nearly four years, so there’s plenty to explore.

If you haven’t yet, be sure to listen and subscribe to the podcast. We covered a lot of territory and chatted for well over an hour. Finally, if you aren’t regularly listening to Focused, you should be!

Basic AF Show: Apple TV+ with Benjamin Jancewicz and Joe Moyer

I had the pleasure of guesting on another episode of the Basic AF Show. This time, I joined Tom, Jeff, and the artist and designer Benjamin Jancewicz to discuss the finer points of Apple TV+. We chatted about some of our favorite shows and what sets Apple's streaming service apart from some of the competition. We also discussed our viewing habits (or, in Tom's case, lack thereof).

I always have fun with Tom and Jeff, having joined them twice before to talk about the iPhone 16 launch and as The Journaling Guide, which I was honored to be told is their most popular episode. Benjamin was an absolute pleasure, too, so give it a listen this weekend, and maybe you'll find some new recommendations for TV shows to enjoy.

Basic AF #47: The Journaling Guide with Joe Moyer

I was pleased to return to the Basic AF Show and discuss journaling. This is my second guest spot with my friends Tom and Jeff (the first one here), and once again, they made me feel welcomed and valued. From the episode page:

_ Ever wondered if journaling could make a difference in your life? This week’s guest, Joe Moyer, believes it can. Joe shares his personal journey with journaling and practical advice on how to build a habit—even if you only have five minutes a day. We cover gratitude journaling, the benefits of recording daily thoughts, and how to avoid the “perfect journal” trap. He also provides tips for those who are new to journaling, with simple techniques to get started._

This was a fun conversation, and I hope you’ll listen. I think everyone, particularly young men, needs to hear some of what was said on the show and pay particular attention to the productive struggle, where we talk about being kind to ourselves, working through complicated feelings and emotions, and growing.

Basic AF: iPhone Event Recap with Joe Moyer (Hey, That’s Me!)

I had the pleasure of joining Jeff Battersby and Tom Anderson on the Basic AF Show to discuss the latest Apple event and answer whether it was a September to remember.

From the show notes:

Join us as we breakdown the new AirPods and hearing related features for AirPods Pro 2, the Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2 in Satin Black. The new iPhone 16 looks excellent, and the iPhone 16 Pro lineup is more "pro" even with its boring colors.

This was my first podcast appearance, and Tom and Jeff are great guys. I genuinely had fun! They were patient with my changing schedule and a pleasure to chat with. I'm thankful they had me on, and as you'll hear on the podcast, we plan to talk again soon!

Check out the show wherever you get your podcasts, and let me know how we did!

My Home Screen on MacSparky

I’m a big fan of the work that David Sparks does at MacSparky, the newly formed Labs, and on his podcasts, Mac Power Users, Focused, and Automators. I count David as one of the people who helped inspire me to do this project so I was excited when I was offered a chance to share my Home Screen and give some insight into the apps and tools that I enjoy using.

You can check out the post here, and if you are a Mac or technology geek, you should (and probably already are) check his stuff out!
