Stephen Hackett is a Memphis-based writer, podcaster, and co-founder of Relay FM - one of the most respected independent podcast networks in the Apple world. Through his blog 512 Pixels (running since 2008), his flagship podcast Connected, and co-hosting Mac Power Users, he has built a career at the intersection of Apple history, hardware archaeology, and independent publishing. He is also the driving force behind Relay FM's annual St. Jude Children's Research Hospital fundraiser, which has raised nearly $5 million - a cause deeply personal to him after his son Josiah survived pediatric brain cancer treated at St. Jude.
