The Talk Show, With Special Guests Craig Federighi and John Siracusa

Apple senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi joins the show for a wide-ranging half-hour discussion about Swift. (With transcript.)

Next, John Siracusa returns to the show to follow up on Federighi’s segment. Other topics include Apple’s new Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 6/6S, and our mutual (and perhaps futile) desire to head into this week’s premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens knowing as few spoilers as possible.
