9to5Mac Watch Time

9to5Mac has been involved in the world of podcasting since 2013. What started as a weekly Google Hangouts on YouTube evolved into the 9to5Mac Happy Hour podcast. The show now has years of episodes with more content released every week.

9to5Mac Watch Time spun out of Happy Hour and started as a seasonal podcast in 2019 dedicated to exploring real stories of how people are using the Apple Watch to change their lives. It turns out there’s way more to share than can fit in a seasonal podcast. 9to5Mac Watch Time graduated from a seasonal podcast at the start of 2020 with new episodes released every other week.

9to5Mac Watch Time 24: A conversation on race with Ish ShaBazz (In memory of George Floyd)

Site default logo image

9to5Mac Watch Time is usually a podcast about the Apple Watch and how it impacts peoples lives. This week I want to focus on a different impact being made in peoples lives across the United States and around the world since last week.

My goal for this podcast has always been to be honest and raw and real, and it turns out the Apple Watch is one avenue that allows me to explore that side of guests.

But this week I want to dedicate this episode to the memory of George Floyd, the 46-year-old African American who was killed on Memorial Day after being handcuffed by Minneapolis police and pinned down on the street for almost nine minutes with a knee on his neck. Floyd was stopped for allegedly passing a fake $20 bill.

The loss of George Floyd’s life adds to the heartbreaking list of African Americans who have been been killed at the hands of systemic racism in the last decade alone. From Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice to Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

And for that reason, in this moment, systemic racism is the only thing I want to talk about and better understand. Developer Ish ShaBazz joins me for this very important conversation.
