S1E179 - Essential Apple Podcast 179: A musical interlude: feat. Jeff Gamet

Recorded 8th June 2020 This week another unstructured show as Mark, Nick, Jim and I are joined by Jeff Gamet. To be honest we didn’t so much record a show as just start chatting and went with it – and actually quite a lot of it isn’t about tech at all. In this first part it is mostly about music (hence the title). <h4>GIVEAWAYS & OFFERS</h4> Glenn Fleishman’s Working From Home book is completely FREE and can be downloaded here and now he has also released Take Control of Zoom too. Steve at Geeks Corner will be having more giveaways in the near future. Keep an eye on the site or follow him on Twitter @GeekCorner_uk Serif have expanded their sale to everything in the Affinity store until June 20th Why not come and join the Slack community?
