This time, it's all about music! Jason reports the results of an advanced headphone audit, Andrew shares yet more economic wisdom and Martin prompts a chat about guilty song pleasures.
An update! Thank you to everyone who participated in our Twitter polls about macOS Finder usage after episode 018 (https://listen.hemisphericviews.com/018).
We're excited to share the results: when launching a new Finder window (https://twitter.com/HemisphericV/status/1351846085900206082?s=20), the majority of voters (83.3%) click on the icon; and when it comes to the window view (https://twitter.com/HemisphericV/status/1351846245485080578?s=20), it was a tie between icons and columns (38.9%).
