Having just finished recording a new training video on Cappuccino, Scotty & John are hosting this weeks show live from iDeveloper Towers!

While it may have sounded so for those listening live, Scotty was not recording while in the bath. Instead, he was joined by Kent Sutherland to have a look at the Natural Language Date Parsing features of Fantastical.

The new iDeveloper Live audio feed was just too much excitement for John and he so had to spend this week in a darkened room. That left Scotty to interview Michael Simmons of Flexibits creators of Fantastical.

Following the obvious round up of WWDC, Scotty & John take a look a rather more serious aspect of Indie life with Jonathan Freeman.

In this episode Scotty and John talk with Marc Hoffman from RemObjects about handling remote servers and data , patent troubles and how to get a Russian wife.

Matt Long joins Scotty & John while in town recording a course on Core Animation and shares a few thoughts, tips & tricks, while both John & Matt are left in awe of Scotty's production skills & use of background loops to add true authenticity.

Steve & John are joined by Graham Lee who's chatting about Unit Testing as well as recording a training video on it. Plus there's general chat on the iPhone 4 white or black & iPhone 5 this year, will they wont they?
