Analog(ue) is hosted by Casey Liss and Myke Hurley, both also known for other Relay FM shows (Casey co-hosts ATP; Hurley runs the Relay FM network). The format is a two-person, unscripted conversation rather than a scripted interview — episodes typically open with a personal check-in before moving through several loosely connected topics in one sitting, often 60 to 100 minutes long. Recurring material includes Apple product announcements and upgrade decisions (MacBook Pro, Studio Display, macOS updates), home tech problem-solving (backup strategy, NAS setups, cloud storage changes), and indie app development commentary tied to Casey's CallSheet app. A large share of episodes center on the hosts' family lives: Myke Hurley's daughter Sophia and his and his wife Adina's transition to parenthood, and Casey's own children and household projects in Richmond, Virginia. Episodes also touch on UK-based content (Myke lives in the UK), including UK politics, NHS/NCT parenting classes, and British comedy like SNL UK. Occasional segments cover US political commentary, Relay FM network news (live shows, anniversaries, charity fundraising for St. Jude), and sponsor reads for Squarespace, Incogni, and fitness apps. There are no outside guests in the sampled episodes — it is consistently a two-host format. Listeners who already follow Relay FM shows like ATP or Connected are a natural audience, as the hosts reference those shows and their own overlapping schedules. The tone throughout is casual, personal, and meandering rather than tightly produced or topic-siloed.
Made for: Existing Relay FM/Apple-podcast listeners who like long, unstructured two-person conversations mixing tech talk with personal and family life updates.
What sets it apart: Unlike most Apple-focused podcasts, Analog(ue) is built around the hosts' personal and family lives — parenting, home projects, UK/US current events — with tech as a recurring but secondary thread rather than the main focus.
So many podcasts are about our digital devices. Analog(ue) is a show about how these devices make us feel and how they change our lives for the better, but also for the worse. Hosted by Casey Liss and Myke Hurley.

A close-to-the-wire Apple reaction turns into an easy, wandering Analog(ue) check-in with tech, family, and TV in the mix.
Analog(ue) opens on breaking Apple news, recorded so close to the announcement that the hosts are still deciding what kind of conversation they can have before the wider tech-podcast machine catches up. That gives the episode a loose, immediate charge.
A loose tech-adjacent conversation that moves from a Mac update into politics, disillusionment, creativity, and professional humility.

Preparedly Unprepared catches Analog(ue) at a hinge point: Mike is about to become a parent, and the episode sits with the odd mix of excitement, fear, logistics, and surrender that comes right before the deadline arrives.
A sharp, affectionate tech chat about reliable audio gear and the Macs that made work feel portable again.
Analog(ue) turns everyday technology talk into a warm, precise argument for gear that gets out of the way. The opening detour through XLR interfaces, Audio Hijack, macOS input settings, and the stubborn reliability of the USBPre-2 sets the tone: practical, nerdy, and irritated…
A loose, personable Analog(ue) catch-up about elections, London, website tools, home visits, and fun-trash TV.
Analog(ue) opens in catch-up mode, with the UK election making the previous episode feel oddly distant before the conversation drifts to London and the comic deflation of seeing 10 Downing Street as a tiny, guarded stretch rather than the grand address pop culture suggests.
