Great episode! (Sidebar: Jodi is AMAZING and I've been on several calls/workshops/Clubhouse with her as a speaker and she is just pure gold! ) Second, thank you for touching on audio and mics because I have guests who want to use air pods for my podcast interviews and it's a direct 'No' for me because once the listener hears the echo, they tune off. Thanks again and have a great weekend 😀
And incidentally, the reason a lot of people are upset over the new iPad Pro ad, is because not ONLY were they "smooshing" all those iconic childhood things - but they also smooshed a guitar, a piano, a painting (ie: the colors of paint squishing out of the compressed "stuff"), a bunch of literature, sculptures, recording gear, etc. They were SQUASHING "creativity". And then crowing about the new iPad Pro being thinner. In this age of AI where humans are already pretty concerned about AI taking over their creative jobs, it was just pretty tone deaf. Now, several people have pointed out that if you took the ad and played it *backwards*, it still gets across probably what they were going for - but is much more sympathetic towards human creativity. I've had multiple discussions about it on LinkedIn so you could look up more info there if you wanted to learn more about it. 🙂
@@DavidJackson 🤣 Exactly. It's such a huge problem (said no one, ever). I mean, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9s mention that they're dust proof and water proof ... and ... well ... I guess if you're using it in the bath or at the pool, I can see how that would be useful? 😉 That's something worth mentioning. Sort of. But for a company that makes THAT much money, it boggles my mind how their marketing department could put something like this together when so many creatives are worried about their work being stolen by AI or created by IT instead of them. Unless a) they knew what they were doing and just wanted to be controversial (and to be fair, it IS being talked about. Any publicity is good publicity? Don't know if I agree... but sure. or b) they just think they're too big to fail. Their loyal following will still buy the thing anyway. And they just got to have fun crushing a lot of things and making a mess? 🤪 I'm personally not impressed, but I'm not their audience as I'm not in the Apple ecosystem.
Thanks so much for the spotlight, Dave & Jim! Really appreciate it. I'm happy to support all the great work you do!

Aww. Thanks so much Pedro! And yes - good audio is SO important!

ANd it's Thinner. I've heard so many people complaining that their iPad was too thick....
