Avsnitt

  • Lot’s going on in this episode.

    We chat about the lack of a spring event from Apple - and ponder will they possibly yet surprise us. We chat over the new M3 MacBook Air and what to expect from the next iPad Pro.

    Then we really get in the trenches with the whole buying views on YoiuTube controversy - we pull it apart and try to find ouy what is really going on.

    Don’t forget we are also on YouTube Music as an audio-only podcast.

  • On this episode we are joined by Daniel from Tech with Benefits and as he is Mr Samsung it was too good of an opportunity to not corner him and pry out of him what he thinks may be coming in January when Samsung launches the S24 Ultra. What AI features can we possibly expect? Will LOG or RAW video make its way to Samsung’s flagship phone in ’24? Daniel gives us the inside scoop on what his dream camera set-up would be and Alex talks about shooting 8K on his S23.

    Alex covers his recent VLOG-style videos and tells us about where the inspiration came from and Daniel tells us how he makes Samsung content in between events and releases.

    David has seen some good growth recently on his channel and pulls back the curtains on what he thinks has been at the heart of that growth. Also, having been hit by the invalid traffic strike in the summer David and the boys cover the latest fallout from it and how creators are still being left without answers.

  • Tech season is almost here and we’re getting ourselves ready for a busy few weeks ahead.

    We talk plenty about the upcoming iPhone 15 - what we’re expecting from it and the way that creators should be maximising their content on it. We talk about Apple Watch Ultra and how you can make it fit in with your Android lifestyle.

    Invalid traffic and the mess it’s creating is talked about again as it causes more and more mayhem as David gets hit by it! We ponder why at the same time YouTube are suddenly changing its ad policy - is it just a strange coincidence? And are the leaks from Google over their Pixel 8 all planned?

  • You want content - we have content!! Another bumper episode where we had loads to chat over.

    Firstly - the hardware. In the studio, we had the Fold 5 & Flip 5 to chat about, the future for iPhone 15 and the HUGE Samsung Tab 8. And if that weren’t enough we also had the Nothing 2 with us as well.

    We chatted about some super Android hacks we have both found and then we got down to business and talked YouTube.

    This time we chatted analytics and as a creator what are the most imporatnt metrics to keep an eye on. Finally we spoke about whet the hell is going on over at Medium for tech writers too…
