Daniel comes on board in this pod - and we couldn’t be happier.

We chat over the Sony Experia VI, Samsung S24 camera and of course, we have to chat about iPad, don’t we?

The new version of Final Cut Pro is out so we give our views & thoughts on that. But the hot topic though is one that Alex picked up on - double standards in the tech YouTube space.

Welcome back to Daniel - but this time in person!

We grabbed him whilst he was on holiday in the UK with his family - and I have to say, it was one of our best episodes yet!

Of course, we chat about the newly released M4 iPad Pro and iPad Air and chat about how it compares to the Samsung S9.

When a creator is away from home for 5 weeks - what tech does he pack? Well, Daniel will tell you precisely what he packed for this road trip. And then we talk thumbnails - it turns out we all have very different approaches…
