We’ve got a Mac-a-palooza here! Apple had a week full of Mac releases and thankfully Rich and Wayne are here to break down all the news on the new M4 iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pros. Plus there’s a cool new Kindle on the market with a color screen and a new modular wireless microphone system from Sennheiser that is made specifically for content creators of all types. The boys also talk about a camera bag sent from heaven! But the big topic of the week is working remotely as a creative. Is it better to be in the office and collaborate in person? What are the benefits of working remote and how do you make the most of it. It’s all here. Dig in!
