We are discontinuing the use of the little pop-up player on the radio show page. It is generated using Flash, which for some reason Steve Jobs hated.
From tonight's show going forward the show stream will play in a regular browser window and will work with iPads and iPhones.

St. Steve hated Flash as it drained juice out of iDevices pretty quick. A lot of Flash was poorly written, both at source and by web folk. Too bad the good uses of Flash had to suffer the banishment.

Without Woz in the beginning, there'd be no Apple. However, once he left, Apple under Steve when he came back was nothing short of brilliant.
