About Jason Snell

Jason is the founder and editor of Six Colors. He’s also the founder of The Incomparable (a podcast and podcast network), and hosts numerous podcasts (see below). Jason started covering Apple in 1993, worked at Macworld for 17 years, and was the lead editor there for more than a decade. During his time there, he covered every major Apple product release. He played, and lost, on Jeopardy—but it was to one of the all-time greats, so it’s fine.

Jason and his wife have lived in Mill Valley, California since 1999. You can email him at jsnell@sixcolors.com, and find him on social media on Mastodon or Bluesky.
