Affinity Photo for iPad – Part 1
I’m a huge fan of the Mac application Affinity Photo. You may have heard me mention that 8 or 12 times before. It’s a fantastic image editor for Mac and PC from Serif that only costs $50 one time (on sale right now for $40). But the big news that was just announced during WWDC […]

Dumb Question Corner – What’s the Difference Between an Amp and a Receiver?
Listener Jill sent in a great dumb question this week, and Allison decided that I was more qualified to answer. Here’s Jill’s question: What is a “receiver”?
